Auxillary connections in headlight bucket

recumbentbob · 03-19-2010, 06:09 PM

I bought some push pin type male electrical connectors to connect to the axillary terminals in the headlight bucket on my 08 Nomad.
Got them at Ace Hardware they are too small in diameter.

Where do I get the right size connector?

I just bought some male barrel connectors at Autozone and they were the right size. Didn't think they might come in different diameters.

Oh yeah they come is different and similar sizes.. If the female is too big i generally crimp them tighter... BTW there is a matching pair under the seat if you were not aware. Both on the same acc fues and both hot all the time.... well black with yellow is grounds..

There are a few sizes available, you should be able to get them at any Auto parts store. There is a size that fits so tight you can barely get them apart without breaking the wire. Ask me how I know.

Yeah, I have been there before, with overly too tight connectors.. Can't say that is pleasing much, but it does make a good connection.
