Tailgate electrical contact pins

Problem or technical question?

Tailgate electrical contact pins

Postby Stoned on Sun Jul 27, 2003 1:32 pm

OK these are doing my head in now.

I'm fed up with cleaning them, and trying every substance under the sun to make them keep a good contact enough to open the tailgate door.

I need new ones but cannot find the item in Microcat. Does anyone know what the number is for it in Microcat, or know what the correct description is?

Thanks in advance

if you need a 3 pin set i got a set [ERRR] i upgraded to 4 pin for boot release

mine have always been fine, and they have very little wear on them..... let me know if u need them!

Of course the other way is copy a mk5, re-route all teh cablea and put them through the top of the boot!

Unfortunatly I need 4 pin mate since it's the remote boot release I am having problems with. My tailgate is delocked so it's important it works well.

Thanks for the offer though

You can use servisol contact cleaner to get main crap off then a fibregalss pencil to clean up the contacts good and proper.

Can get the bits from http://rswww.com
Nothing to see here...
