I boogered up my connector on the light for the front axle engagement switch. Eriks's has a bunch of connectors but the part numbers do not match the 20P part numbers. Anybody point me in the right direction?

From the 2006 version of TM 9-2320-361-24P, figure 52 front wiring harness hardware-
"transfer indicator light" is called out as view "D"
view "D" indicates items 10, 9, & 8
item 10 is "572929" contact, electrical
item 9 is "8338567" washer, slotted
item 8 is "8338566" shell electrical co(nnector)

found this website tonight-
Amerline - Single Wire Waterproof Connectors
which has a table of the different connector assemblies and individual parts.
Tells us that the 14 gauge version of the female connector assembly is needed. (female shell, male connector...)
Which is "MS27142-2" or "8338565"

Which is this page at Erik's
Rubber Shell Connectors (qty 10) MS27142-2

Which are the one I know I buy most often !

(This ought to leave lots of search terms to keep the moderators happy !) :cool:

Of course, if your light is like mine, the male rubber part usually pulls off the light with the female connector, leaving the female connector sticking out and looking nothing like any of the connector assemblies. I have, so far, been able to just push the whole mess back together, but will probably need a new light at some point.

Thanks Jeff, I was hoping I could get a reference back to Eriks since they really are responsive. I have a new light and hopefully the connector will work.
