M101CDN2 Resto: Need Source 4 Wiring Harness

[Crapgame]

I'm restoring a 1/4t M101CDN2 Trailer, was sold some bits and pieces, but turns out I'm in need of others.

I need to find a 1/4t Trailer Wiring Harness Section that the front Plug Assy attaches to underneath, and which plugs into the taillights.

The NSN should be the same for the M416, M100 1/4ton Trailers.

So, this trailer will need some work. Both fenders need to be replaced, NOS parts were supplied with the buy.

I bought a used, exc camo tarp and taillights from the seller.

So do you need the body wiring harness or the pigtail?

I assume, the body wiring harness. I got a NOS plug with the 1meter lead, and the flat connector with 8 wire plugs.

 

[emmado22]

Yes, you need a body harness. You can also use a body harness from a M105 or later M101 series trailer. They are a bit longer, but electically the same.

Looks like the Plug Assy I got is unserviceable, plug dry-rotted, one pin pushed in, no way to get a refund either. Scheissters.

 

[emmado22]

Not all the pins in the plug are used. You might get lucky and it be an unused pin.... Also, the pigtails are all the same electrically between the M416, M101 and M105 and M1101 trailers. Only difference in them is the length by a foot or 2.

I also saw on eBay, the M100s have metal connectors and the M416 have the male/female rubber connectors. I ass-u-me, I need the later rubber type, thse trailers were built in 1984-86, I think, especially for the Iltis.

Well, i'm hoping to get the body wiring harness, get her useable, then replace the Plug/Pigtail assy for a NOS or used, exc+ unit. Not going thru all the back-busting work then install junk.

Is this waht you need? If so, and your interested, 20 bucks plus shipping. I bought it for my US M101, but decided to make my own harness outta 5 or 6 wire trailer loom from the local semi truck supplier.

Nick,
This would be for the larger 3/4t trailer, so about 18" longer than the 1/4t harness? Are those metal connectors or the rubbers?

Here is what you need for the body harness, with the rubber connectors. Ebay Item number:330408418961

The seller is a good guy, I have bought some stuff from him.

Yes its for the 3/4 ton US model 101, so I guess it would be a little longer. The connectors are the ferrule style, male female plugs inside rubber housings. According to what emmado22 showed, its the same kind of connectors.

Nick,
I think I would like to install the proper M100/M416 harness. But I appreciate the thought. I prefer to do things right the first time. The dry-rotted pigtail can't be shipped back and doubt I'd ever get a replacement, so I have to make do with that part for now.

 

[Nick]

No prob. Good luck

Crapgame,

YES, that is the one you need, I got mine from the same seller. He also has the intervehicular cable you need, send him an email. I installed the set I got from him just last week, his stuff is truly NOS. One bit of advice, install the wiring harness from the rear, going in from the front seems like the right way, but it's not (ask me how I know). He also has NOS shock absorbers too.

I sure like those Canadians...
