Is There An Easy Fix? Valence Light

[Zach]

Getting ready to send out my spaghetti harnesses to midlife (sorry in advance) and I am checking the rest of my wires that aren’t getting sent out. Found that my front valence signal light has a broken pin on the connector, how easy of a fix would this be and could someone point me in the right direction thanks.

Entire connector has to be replaced. If from valence light, probably have to replace entire light assembly.

Dang not what I wanted to hear. Yeah it’s the valence panel light, think they are called parking lights. Seem to be 55 bucks for the whole assembly, 120 for both. When I was looking at it didn’t seem like the connector would leave the housing easily.

Check with @Bill Perkins or Mike @Motorcity Mustang for good used assemblies. They may be able to save you some $$.

If you aren't worried about concourse-correct, I don't see why you couldn't splice one of these in place of the old connector, and use a little heat shrink over the splice to make it more presentable... worst case do both sides.

Thought about that. Think a used assembly is like 30 so it’s a little better.

Verify repo wiring

Mine the wires were swapped and it was a dead short that kept blowing fuses.

The rewire was going so good then WTF.

Easy fix after I figured it out.

If there is a trailer/RV supply store in your area, they will likely have them also.

Thanks, will definitely go this route, just will have to verify the wires.
