Hello,
We know on our D -Jetronic harness some male connectors 2,3,4,5 ways with female connectors with female pins inside. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i48.servimg.com-23807-1640445696.1.jpg) Do you know female connectors with male pins inside. ? I need your help because I want to use on my 914 Porsche a 123 ignition distributor. For the OEM distributor I have a 3 ways female connector and for the harness 3ways male connector I'd like to make a little harness with a 3 ways male on one side and 3 ways female connector on the other side It's easy to find male connectors with female pins but I don't find female connector with male pins. Do you know where I can find these parts ? The advantage of this little harness is if I have problems with the 123 ignition distributor I can use my OEM one without harness modification. Can you help me please ? PS: what is the item number of these D-Jetronic connectors ? Best regards Michel |

These are just 4 random OEMs that happen to be sitting around. I’ll challenge anyone to go take a look under hood at their daily driver and see what is under hood and then ask yourself, how many failures have you had that were related to these types of automotive connectors.
Will there be someone that has had a failure? Without a doubt. However, there are in excess of 15 million cars sold annually with these types of connectors. A minuscule failure of 1 per 10,000 cars would be a HUGE issue that the industry would be forced to address. Fortunately the failure rate of these connectors is well below that level. It used to be part of my day job to pour over 3rd party reliability data (JD power, Consumer Reports, other OEM warranty data) and competitive teardowns. What I can tell you is that wiring connector failure doesn’t even come into the top twenty problems. Cut wiring due to improper repairs - yeah that happens. What rarely happens is having a connector fail of its own accord due to improper strain relief, excessive vibration causing wire fatigue, pin pullout, thermal degradation, etc. |
