Outcast2 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hi all,In the middle of an ECU change on my Beaulieu, and I need to fit a new connector into the plug that goes into the back of the tacho, but I'm not having any luck finding what I need to order. Can anyone advise where I can get one/ recognise what style it is?Thanks in advance. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 27, 2022 Member Share Posted December 27, 2022 How many pins on the instrument?There's a couple of different types. I'll have a look after the rugby.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 27, 2022 Member Share Posted December 27, 2022 I think that the Beaulieu is a 2001 Vauxhall 1600.I suggest copying that Caerbont description from the label and sending that and a photograph of the pin layout to Caerbont and to Redline.And if they can't help with the connector letting us know.JonathanPS: Do you need any wiring diagrams?

Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 27, 2022 Member Share Posted December 27, 2022 Having said that I've just found this diagram on the Caerbont site:and 174044-2 is a genuine AMP Multilock part number:Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outcast2 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hi Jonathon,Will do, I've found a very similar connector on amazon for window winder mechanisms, but they only sell them in packs of 10, so still probably easier to contact Caerbont/Redline as you say. Shouldn't need any wiring diagrams thanks, I've got the assembly guide and there's a drawing in there.Thanks for the help,Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catgraham Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 As Jonathan says,AMP Multilock 040 series, part no. 174044-2; RS 362-8768, £1.60ea.You will probably also require contacts,AMP part no. 173681-1 (20 AWG); RS 712-1889, £6.10 for 50.Cheers,Graham.
