Main Connector for Clock on wiring loom broken.

[cbay]

Just realised that my connector on the main wiring loom is broken so the clocks only work if I hold the cable in.

The leads and everything is fine but its just the connector I think that isn't working...

Can I buy just a connector?

Post a pic up mate, lets have a look at it.
It might be possible to repair or modify it to hold it in.

I'll try and take a piccy tomoz night.

glue it or get new connectors of a different type and replace both male and female sides, something like

not that easy with a 20pin or somthing like that plug :S

Is just an example plug set, i've put a few on, its straight forward enough.

Yes but the plug on the clocks is built in and way way too much hassle to change it. Easier just to source a new connector for the wiring loom and swap the cables over as its got like a easy unlock feature on the back so you can pop the cables out. Worse comes to worse I have to buy a whole wiring loom off eBay to take the connector off.

have you tried taking the pins out yet? i couldn't get them out ...

It's easy. You just get a tiny flathead screwdriver and bend the pin on each cable end and they pull out.

Have you tried these guys? http://www.dataspares.com/

There's a dooberry on the back of those you need to flip up first.
Connector body is same on GSXRK1-3 so you can use those, pinout is different though so be careful.

Most likely is connector is fine but there's a bit of rot on one of the pins, you can clean them or nip the female bit slightly to get better contact.
