Title: Looking for a connector.
Post by: Green Goblin on July 10, 2012, 16:41
Hi guys, there's a connector next to the windscreenwiperfluidbottle, that's not in use, but has a nice plug in it, protecting it from water. I want to use this connector, to power my drl's (it has current on it when the powers on). But ofcourse, to do that properly, I would have to have the corresponding connector. Only thing I have now, it the partnumber of the plug: 82821‑10050

Anybody any ideas where I might get a fitting connector ?

Did some research and apparently it is connected to the A/C compressor. Does anybody have a A/C compressor around and would be willing to take a picture of the connectors on that ?

AC compressor is at the other end of the car. The only thing I can see in that area is a shock sensor for the airbag system (I think)

Hm, that seems logical. But the connector is listed as "A/C Triple Pressure SW (A/C Dual and
Single Pressure SW)". Number 90980-10943.

Could be the same connector is used front and back though.

I can't really speak for the 2 but the a/c condensor is normally mounted in the front of the car, in front of the radiator and there is usually a fan

True for the 2, but wiring to the fans comes across from the other side.

Heres a shoy of mine by the water bottle.

Absolutely correct - it connects to the pressure sw in the A/C pipework at the front of the car (when fitted of course!)

Ah ! "sw" is switch ofcourse.....

Which is a bummer, because that means there is no male connector (which I already sort of found out, but wanted to be sure.)

I found pictures of the switch online. SteveJ is 100 % right.

Gentleman, thank you all for your assistance.
