Thought I would add to this thread some info I was able to find. If you need a puddle light connector, the only place I found it was at Connector Experts. They aren’t cheap but it beats the alternative of having to buy a new mirror. The part is CE3368BK, they are pre wired and ready to hook up to your existing puddle light wires, cost $78 plus shipping. I bought 2 along with 2 new lights off of eBay. Didn’t realize how much I missed them until I saw them on my buddies Rebel.

So I've scrolled through pictures of connectors for hours on mouser.com with no luck and after lots of digging I found this post which led me to find the correct connectors. But because there is no way in hell I was paying $78 for a couple $0.50 connector... I kept digging. Ultimately, I found this part number 12047781.

"Aptiv (Delphi)
12047781 - Delphi Metri-Pack 150 3 Way Black Unsealed Female Connector"

So to help out anybody else that might be looking for this, if you do a Google search for that part number you'll be given many options. Many of which are just the connector. You need to make sure you get the terminals for the inside as well.

Good luck!

Look below the motor, in between the 2 arrows at the bottom
you can just barely see the 3 wires that go to the Puddle Lamp

the newer mirrors use a slightly different mirror motor
the mirror glass is more difficult to remove

This literally just happened to my 19' ram 1500 classic....led puddle lights went out so I ordered a replacement from mopar online. Came in. When I went to pull the connector out of the old one I found that it was corroded really bad and one of the pins came out and was stuck in there. I cleaned the female end up as best as possible with a q tip and a needle as its a tiny area. Luckily I plugged the new one in and it works but without getting all the corrosion out I'm afraid it'll happen again.

I just ordered the female connector from "customConnectorKits" SKU # 12047781. I am waiting for them to come in. Does anyone know if its hard to get the wires in it or how to do it once I get this part? Ive never done it before.

Not hard at all, but did you get the 12064971-L - Delphi Metri-Pack 150 Tin Plated Unsealed Female Terminals?

I think this goes with the part you ordered but I'm not 100% sure. Which is why I order mine above as a full kit. It came with all the parts. I just cut the old connector off. Then striped the wires back and crimped the terminals on. Make sure you put the terminals in the correct slots on the connector. Or you will need a Terminal Removal Tool kit to get it out with out breaking it.

No I didn’t get that. How can I purchase the entire full kit? Is there an option for that? I clicked the link you shared and it just provides the terminals. How many of them to do I need to buy ? 3? Thanks for your help on this, it’s been a pain in the ass.

I have a 2018 Ram 1500. I didn't see this talked about anywhere else on here..

I was removing my puddle lights and putting in sequential replacements.
When I removed the plug-in from the passenger side connector one of the prongs remained in the connector and it is stuck in there. I can still put the old puddle light in and it works somehow.
I called a dealership nearby and explained this and they said I will need a whole new mirror, is that really my only option for replacing a little plastic piece that 3 cords run into?
Anyone ever dealt with this before?
Thanks!
no you dont need the whole thing , you just need the conector for it ... you need this giod luck

Yes, you do need the full kit or all the parts. The link you have is a complete connector. It also has wires coming out of it already and is double the price.

Sorry, I have been swamped with work and have not had time to check back on here. You may have what you need already but here is what I bought.

Title of the listing incase the like does not work: "Lot of 2 Delphi Metri-Pack 150 Series 3P Connector Kit Unsealed 3 Position NOS"
