Wiring Harness for Gen II Pajero Turn Signal Lights

Post by scottie2113 »

I recently obtained a pair of Pajero Turn signal light assemblies for the front of my 97 Montero SR. The problem is, they have two bulbs and two electrical connectors instead of just one like my montero originally had. The lights did not come with the wiring harness for the two connectors. I am in need of the connectors. I know how to wiring it so it will work, but without the connectors, I cannot install them.

Does anyone know of a junk yard that would have the connectors I would need? I live in the US, so I would need them shipped. If anyone can help me get the wiring harness I need, that would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I would like to get the same for the side turn signal lamps as well. Here is a picture of them all:

thanks for any help

Hi,

Problem solved?

I've seen the wiring harness that you need when my mechanic "cannibalized" a surplus front half of a pajero :)

But I don't think you can get just that part for the turn signal and side lamps only (not cheap at least) as it is really part of the main harness.

Still, I will try to check for you.

Thanks.

no, still don't have the harness yet; there is a part yard somewhere in australia that I have contacted through email and they are quoting me $44 plus shipping for the 4 plugs just for the front turn signal and parking light lamp assemblies with some wire coming off them. does that sound about right?

I am still hunting for the plugs that hook up to the side marker lights that go in the fender.

any help is greatly appreciated; I am still emailing that guy on the parts; I have not committed to anything yet.

Hi Scottie,

Will try to check with local surplus shops here this weekend :)

Question though, if we do get lucky and we can post it, will "wires" be an issue going thru your postal service???

Thanks!


Happy Christmas!

Scott, you are complicating things. It's simple all you need is to pick up some at our junk yards or at your local parts store. You are going to get the wires and plugs for the Pajero with those signals and think "oh". It's so simple, and no matter wich truck you buy the parts from it will be the same installation process. Have you pulled the inner fender off yet? Do it and you will understand. If you still don't think it will work, It would be cheaper just to pay Patrick to do it for you.

I don't see how the plugs would be the same, the pajero plugs have 2 wires each, and there are two per light assembly, the montero version has only one bulb with 3 wires, so the plugs that connect to the lamp assembly must be different since there are different number of wires, but now that I am home, I will take a closer look before I buy anything.

Guys,

Those clearance lamps (Japan) in the pics work this way:

Park lights on: whites are on = single contact
Turn signal on: whites are on = double contact (so brighter)

The whites use double contact bulbs. Rewiring plus relays required -possibly.

The above is original Japan setup -so.. depends on personal preferences.

there is another circuit on my lights in the pics above:\

there is a yellow bulb for turn signal I am assuming

then the white bulb has two filaments in it, one bright and one dim. I am assuming that the dim filament is for parking lights and the bright white filament is for a ditch light that turns on when that side turn signal is activated so as to illuminate that side of the road while turning.

is this correct?

Yup -correct :)

I haven't found any plug for it yet but asked around. I hope we find somebody willing to sell those plugs only :)

btw, the side turn lights would be easy to work around with, the cluster am concerned about.

Hey! I think I found you the compatible plugs that hold the bulb into the hole/port. Universal ones I think :)

I will try to check my signal light to confirm first. As for the wiring harness itself, I was told that it would be easier to have an experienced electrician do it for you.

Please advise if you still need this, okay :cool:

if you can post a close up pic of the rear of the signal light assembly, that will also do, hehe ;)
