rear wiring harness

Tail lights out again! Tired of repairing that wiring so thought I would do a quick internet search for a new rear wiring harness, you know from the plug behind the rear axle on each side up to the tail light assembly's to include new sockets. Out with all the old and repairs thing in with all new. Well that was 90 mn ago and no luck at all. Any suggestions?

If it's at that point then make your own harness.

The plugs should have miniature numbers on them. Find out what they are and go to http://www.mouser.com/Connectors/Aut...ors/_/N-1ehb5/ and search for that number. With 23,000+ connectors on hand they should be able to fix you up.
Drag your harness out and spread it across the driveway. Make the new one look just like it.

Terminal Supply Company in Troy Michigan is also a good source for connectors. I used their 12ga relay socket/pigtails when I built Jim Lane's headlight relay upgrade harness for myself. I think his upgrade is in the sticky. They were stamped "made in USA" too!! They have a pretty good selection and seem to carry quality components.

Thanks Guys! Great and prompt help as always! Not Ratty or Rusty, Salty. I plow snow so the back of the old girl is caked in road salt all winter. Might as well take the plunge while I am at it and head over to www.superbrightleds.com and make that upgrade as well!

I've had great luck with TSC also. I live 45 minutes from them. Good quality stuff!

Excellent Idea. Might as well put your trailer wiring on fused relays while you're back there. Unless you don't tow.
