1991 940 electrical connectors
Due to corrosion I need a new connector for the front sidelight for the 940
This is the connector on the end of the wiring harness.. It will need to be soldered to connect to the harness. Is this available anywhere, new or second hand? Thanks Ian Fife |

volvo have the terminals and housings , don't solder though its bad practice as with any moving in the wind the wire will crack where the solder meets the copper wire. Crimping is always best in the automotive trade unless there is no possibility of movement .

Thanks Clan. I don't usually have much success trying Volvo dealers. Is there anyone in the UK that you could recommend for me to try for this part?

Can you post a photo? I might have something in the garage/spares stash.

Many thanks for the offer, but it is all back together now with some slightly dodgy connections, and I really don't want to disturb it.
The connector has two wires running to two female connectors inside a black housing. The housing has three holes arranged on the threes sides of an imaginary square, one of which is unused of course. I do have several of the white plastic bulb holders ( three male pin type which fit this, these are very robust, hence I have a collection. It's the wiring going into the black female connector on the end of the loom which has corroded away and needed a tricky repair. Ian Fife |

P.s. I can of course post pictures of the white plastic bulb holders which the piece I am needing connects with, if that would help?

The best/cheapest place I’ve found for the Volvo female connectors is Aliexpress. For example,
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32707342320.html They only seem to do the two-pin housings, but it’s rare for the original plastic housing to be beyond reuse. I prefer the pre-made tails which you can then join onto the original cable with heat-shrink crimp butt connectors. Aliexpress send products direct from China and elsewhere so delivery can take several weeks. |

This is the bulb holder for the front sidelight. I am looking for the black plug on the wiring harness which fits this plug. Anyone have one please?
