02jcole Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm in the process of installing TD5 gauges, a MUD console and generally tidying up the wiring of my 1997 defender 90. I'm having difficulty sourcing two connectors which I require, I've tried all the usual suspects that I buy electrical components from (VWP, polevolt, autosparks,Rs, etc) but I've had no luck. The two connectors that I require are: 2 x pink plugs used in the back of the TD5 speedo, they look similar to an ISO plug used for wiring in a car stereo but the TD5 one is 10 pin not like the standard 8 pin ISO plug and it has a yellow bar to lock the terminals in to the plug. I also require a male and female connector for wiring in the master light switch as a previous owner has chopped the connectors off and soldered the wires together The light switch and connector can be seen in my link below.

Light switch James The two 10-way ISO connectors can be bought here - http://www.nexxia.co.uk/products.asp?section=CAR%20AUDIO&category=ISO%20Connectors Connector shells and terminals are sold separately - Male Accessory ISO Housing An 10 way Accessory ISO block used for Accessory ISO connections such as CD Changers and displays.

It has 8 terminals at 6.3mm 4W-CNA-NAT - £5.85 +VAT BUT... The light switch connector doesn't need to be identical to the Land Rover (Sumitomo) one and could be replaced by any 4-way connector with 6.3mm terminals for a lot less than the one from KojayCat. This one from Polevolt would do - Ref: MC4KIT Multiple connector kit 4 way Supplied with 5 female and 5 male terminals. Price each: (9 or fewer items) £0.80 (£0.96 Including VAT at 20%) .

02jcole Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thank you very much for your excellent and speedy reply paul Do you know where I could possibly source the Sumitomo OE connector from as I would like to keep the connector standard to aid replacement of the switch in the future. I don't mind paying more to get the correct connector, but I suspect it may only be availble in large quantities! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Sorry, I don't know of anywhere selling them individually If you could get hold a used one cut out of a loom, then new compatible terminals are available from a couple of sources. If you know anyone with a Discovery II, then the Rear Fog Lamp Towing Cut Out Kit STC50181 uses the same connector, which is Land Rover part number - AFU3855 (not available as a spare part ) On the vehicle, an AFU3855 connector with a couple of loops of cable is removed from the rear loom and replaced with one with a relay which cuts the vehicles rear fog lights when a trailer with fog lights is plugged into the 12N connector. The AFU3855 connector with the cable loops is thrown away. STC50181 showing the AFU3855 connector - I saw the kits at Billing a couple of years ago, Mailorder 4x4 (I think ) had stacks of them for around £7.00 I wish I'd bought one at the time for my DII, as they're now nearly £40 Although, there is this one on eBay for a bit less - Discovery 2 Fog Light Cut Off Switch Towing STC50181 .
