Hi all,
Wife's Ph2 172 has the usual issue of the fog light coming up due to the rear lights. It's now isolated to the left side cluster/wiring, but is getting to the point of comedic, especially when reverse is involved, where the brakes then turn all lights on dimly, and indicating then goes haywire.
When the cluster is pulled from the car, it gets better, then when finger pressure is applied to the connector into the cluster, it is fine, but once pressure is removed, it comes back.
This is leaving me to believe it is the connector or the terminals.
What I would want to do is remove the terminals, recrimp new terminals and then either put them into a new connector block, or at least into the existing connector block.
But has anyone done this? I know the connector has a little bit that flips up and then one can see the terminals, I'll rummage through that this evening when the wife is back, but can the terminals be removed from that point? Maybe I can squeeze something to stop whatever is happening within the connector, must be some sort of short in there.
Does anyone have part numbers?
I don't really want to get a replacement loom which involves crimping or soldering the wires together somewhere along the loom, as a second hand eBay one would probably be not much better, and this approach of cutting and splicing isn't how I'd want to do it. I usually find it easy for Peugeots in regards sourcing connectors and terminals, but I haven't had much luck with Renault part numbers.
Have done all the usual steps, earth points are fine, dielectric grease used in connectors. Right side used to be a nightmare too but that has been absolutely fine, it's only the left now, and as I say, seems to be fine when the connector has pressure applied.
