Hello forum. I'm trying to find a female pigtail connector that will fit into this 3-way plug (photo attached). It'* the auxiliary power drop on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.1, if that helps. I've been looking and looking and just cannot find it. I would very, very much like to find a compatible connector for this if it'* at all possible, rather than cutting it off and splicing in a different one.
I'm going to add a lighter socket to plug in a dash cam I've got that has a lighter-adapter power cable. It'* going to be permanently plugged in and this connection hidden up under the dash. The idea is to free up my regular sockets, plus I want a socket that'* only hot when the ignition key is on (the car'* existing sockets are always-hot) because I only want the camera to be on when the car is on.
The power drop has a IGN/ACC line (it'* the middle one), which makes it a very convenient place to do this - I mean, that'* the whole reason the power drop is there after all. But I would rather connect the new lighter socket to it via a plug connector, rather than cutting and splicing the wires if I don't have to.
On this connector there should be some numbers/letter on it. Take a few close pics of what is written on there or around it.
We then might be able to cross reference it..
I really can't tell by the photo, but it appears you would then need the male connector?
I'm not 100% on the male-female distinction, but I -think- the connector pictured is male because the three copper leads are prongs that insert into the connector I need, even though the plastic body of the connector I need would insert into the body of the connector pictured. I think it'* the copper that matters for that, not the plastic. But, I could have that backwards.
I'm not able to pull up a picture of you connector,but you can go to A/C Delco Electrical connector catalog and see if there is the pigtail your looking for.
