Front bumper wiring harness

pletevl · 21st November 2019, 08:20

Hi all,

I'm having some bad connections on the bumper wiring harness plug, the one that goes to the inner wing, the metal parts are starting to corrode..

Looking at it, I can't see any kind of rubber seal to stop water getting in. Should there be one ? if so, where can I get one ?

Pete.

I had the same problem, outside air temperature reading -30,
caused by corrosion in that connector. Cleaned with contact cleaner,
then smeared with Vaseline. Been good since.

On a socket like thishttps://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-YSB001930?gclid=Cj0KCQiAiNnuBRD3ARIsAM8KmltFgVlESf IKiLqA_Lk4yOTqMPDVzEtzEtA_wbRlrQR9eWuWQRhQzZAaAtHe EALw_wcB
I thought there was a "square" rubber seal pushed a fair way up the socket.

I thought there should be one too, but I can't see one
