Title: Help identifying right connector pins
Post by: Xero on May 11, 2020, 10:25:42 AM
Hi all,

Need help identifying pin names/sizes/part numbers for the following:

Pic #1 male pin. (need to connect to only one socket)
Pic #2 both male and female pins.

pin = male, socket = female—even in Vermont. Male connectors/plugs have pins; female connectors/plugs have sockets.

#1 looks like the connector for additional instruments like fuel and oil pressure gauges. Whenever you're trying to identify a connector, give a clear indication of the number and color of wires attached to it.

Can you explain your situation more clearly? Are both the male and female connectors for the headlight combo switch damaged?

Not sure what you are looking for, but here is a link to parts for Molex connectors.

Thanks Laitch

For #1 I need to make a cable that plugs into just one socket (yellow - fuel level) in that additional instruments connector shown. It goes into TENET on the other side.
For #2 combo switch I need to connect two additional wires into it. Instead of taking starter button apart I thought maybe it will be easier to wire them into that connector instead (TENET RFID connection https://fiveaces.hk/images/Schematic/TENET%20-%20RFID.png)

Hope this makes it bit more clear.

Thanks! I am just not sure precisely what type/sizes I would need.

Image #1: as pointed out, the additional instruments connector, which feeds power and signals to the auxillary fuel and oil gauges.  Although it resembles a Molex connector, it is not a Moxel connector.  You will have to remove the yellow socket from the connector shell to access the fuel sender signal.

Image #2: is the combination switch.  The pin numbering is printed on the 9-pin shell if you search for it with a magnifying glass.  The picture below shows the male connector end.

You'll notice the three keyed bumps on the lowest edge.  The pin on the left is Pin1. To its right is Pin2 and the next most right pin is pin3.  Moving to the next row upwards, pin4 is on the left, and so on. Reference a schematic diagram to determine the wires that represent the start switch wires you are after.

Thank you very much Robert!

For#1. wouldn't it be easier to make a cable with male pin and plug it in? or those exact terminals are hard to find?

Yes, you can do that.  Those exact connectors are impossible to find..If I recall, the female sockets are too small and the pin spacing on the connector is slightly off for a standard MOLEX.  You can pull the one connector and hook up a single wire with a standard MOLEX pin.

greetings...

fore the record... those are not the right connector pins... those are the left connector pins...

Yeah, good catch. Sorry about the wrong pic.

Thanks Robert.

Would you know what those Molex pin sizes are?
I am thinking .093 for combination switch and .062 for additional instruments.
