Connector Terminal Views

To identify a connector's terminals, look up its View number in the Connector Index or if you already have its View number (from a schematic), just refer to photographs and scan the Views. Each View includes the color of the connector terminal, and a description of its location, and what it connects to.

Use the Connector Terminal Views to help locate the proper terminal when you need to probe a connector. This is especially helpful if the connector has more than one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-)indicates that the cavity is empty.

Connector Terminal Views can also help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's how:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit.
2. Make a list of all the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic.
3. Then, look up the View for each connector on your list to see if it includes circuits that could be related to the other symptoms. If it does, inspect that connector for the problem.




Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector Terminal View section (sample above). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem: bent terminals.
