Behind dash connector identification
 
|
Hi Gentlemen,
I have an unused connector that I would want to identify. I first supposed it was connector C125, but seems that this latter has 8 pins, mine has only 7. And for what I can understand, Dome light is plugged to C125, and BigBrother's one works correctly. So I suppose this unused connector cannot be C125. It is located behind the ashtray. Any suggestion?

Jeff - I'm pretty sure that is C240 that goes to the warning buzzer, as shown below.

But I think you earn extra points for the image so we'll call it a tie

Thanks Guys!
I declare you two winners of the race, LOL!  I supposed this was the first thing the original owner (Anticosti Island outfitter) cancelled on the early days of young Big Brother. They buckle up two-three times a year, when a police truck get off the ferry to take a one day ride.

Yes, why be safe when the police aren't there? Leave that for sissies.

 An islanders told me that they are more reasonable now than in past years. They don't drive anymore with a large beer between the laps.

Strange... I have the 1984 EVTM, and there is no C240 connector.
And the buzzer connector (no number) looks very different:   It's curious that Big Brother's C240 is found in the 1985 EVTM.

It may have just been some bleed-over dependent upon when your truck was assembled and at what plant.
So you may have an 85 main dash harness and an excuse to buy another hardcopy EVTM

Accordingly to Marti Report, Big Brother was delivered a bit later than expected:  It's still strange that 85 harnesses were installed in early 84 trucks (at least Canadian Crew Cabs). Anyway, the evidence is clear, we have the proof that '84 EVTM edition isn't the one I needed!

Hmm yeah, I was expecting much later in the year.
What about this: The 84 connector has 4 wires. In your photo 2 of the 6 wires are spliced. Perhaps someone added those two and swapped connectors to the 85 style? On my phone so haven't analyzed which of the wires are spliced and if that holds water but maybe?

Interesting hypothesis.
I'll look closer at the connector and will come back.

I think it may be an error in the 1984 EVTM.
 The 1984-1986 Seat Belt Warning Buzzer / Headlamp On Buzzer, is the same. E4TZ-10B924-A Fits 1984/1986 E-F-U-150/350

Could very well be. There's been more than a few found already so what's one more?
