no its not a plug in for a bulb. its like a harness that could possibly plug into a flasher module??? i replaced the 194 bulb in the parking light and the 3157 in the bumper, but neither light work on the driver''s front corner. every other light on the car works though

I don''t think anyone knows this one. It is almost like asking for a heater core for a 1960''s VW beetle.


Those were air cooled engines..., and a heater core never existed for those cars!


I don''t think a part exists for this car. Can you post a picture or someting?

Does the harness have scratches on it like it was used before? I am just trying to guess if something has been plugged into this at one time. scratches are a sign that it was used for something. if it look new then it probably was never used on this car as an option.


Dude, you have 4 different car parts on this one car just in this picture. It migh be possible that this is from another car used to get the job done when it was in an accident. since this looks like it had front dammage that is my guess untill someone knows about this harness thing.

No "dude", the parts are from one donor vehicle. The only thing non-original in the picture is the fender. I put the parts on myself, and there is signs of the plug having been used before. I didn''t want it to get tore up so i just zip-tied it to keep it out of the way. I have the newcorner lensto put in, but not until i get the lights working. The car was wrecked on that corner but the wiring in question is part of the original car, not the new fender.

No power to it, but that would make since if it''s the "female" side of the connection. If it plugs into something that has power to it, then being disconnected would stop the flow of juice, right?

No, pluggin something into it would make it a closed loop. kind of like a circle. when it is unplugged it is a open loop kind of like a half circle. since this is a harness this should have juice going to it at all times basically unless it is operated by a switch, then the switch has juice all the time and the switch it the open and closed part of the circuit. and when something plugs into it is makes it a closed loop. so it should have juice going to it eith way.


we need to find out what switch this is loctaed to. I am going through some diagrams, I will get back to you.
