Thread: GM connectors

Does anyone here know were I can buy the "weather" pack GM connectors??? the ones that are on the fog lights. I put in after markets lights, but I'm not real happy with the connectors.

at least some of them, are available from mouser electronics --but you'll need to buy ALL parts of the connectors separate, typically (connector body, pins, seals, terminal locks, etc.

if i have a chance, i can see what i can dig up.

If thats a lot of work, just say so, I was thinking it would be good information to have in the How To area.

I havent ordered any of the weatherpack connectors yet, but there are MANY part numbers out there. -- the connector bodies are one thing, but the male/female connector pins? there can be MANY MANY MANY options for these, depending on what size of wire, pin material, etc.

I have the p/n's in my writeup for the HUD extension harness, if you wanted we could pull those out and just start adding items to a how-to list as someone uses them?/needs them?

i do not believe the fog lights are connected with "weatherpack" connectors, rather sealed metri-pack connectors, perhaps the 280 series, but i dont have a spare set of fog lamps or the harness to compare to.

does anyone out there have a picture of the connector?

putting it on your hard drive makes it as useful as me having it on mine :P


do we want this in the how-to section, or peraps in a tips'n tricks type section, like i suggested for my ratchet strap engine rotator trick? (perhaps a sub-section of the how-to section)

I would say start a separate thread in the electrical section for now and I'll sticky it so that you can edit it as it needs to be or we can work on it together if you let me know what I need or can do.

Once we get a sizeable list going we can move it to the How To Section and then update that on a periodic basis.

we'll start with that

may adjust the layout later, but it's a start.

Hey toasty,
Thanks!!! I'll try and post up a picture tonight!!!

i cant seem to locate the mating connector to the oe fog lamp socket.. seems the fog lamp socket is made specifically to fit the cavity/clip of the fog lights. there is a plug or two that would fit dimension wise, but the retaining clip is different, so it wouldnt have a good way to stay together without wrapping the whole thing in 7 layers of electrical tape!

has some good pictures, but unfortunately the ones that he's looking for arent actually "weather-pack" series connectors. the connectors for the fog lights are metri-pack 280 series connectors...

nope. nutthin. back in black has the only feasible solution on his site.. take a fog light bulb, remove the glass portion, and solder wires to the existing pins, then use epoxy/mold to encase the connection..
