Hello, I changed the socket, but it did it again after 1 month, I changed it 3 times. How can I completely fix this problem? The cable is getting too hot.
I have exactly the same issue - It could be because I live in Spain where the temperature gets hot in the summer. I have ordered a spare connector and a replacement one (again) - the first replacement worked perfectly, but it died again after some months. Does anyone know where the cable ends so a relay may be applied?
I have a fiat 500 2012, and in the head light, some of the wires now have no more insulation round them, you can see the bare copper. My mechanics said its a known fault of fiat, have you heard of this. He is trying to get me a whole new headlight, but they are out of stock at the mo. Is it a possibility that i can get someone to fix these wires instead? Any advice truely appreciated!!!! Thanks 🙏🏼💫
Hello man and thanks for the video! Mine's in there for good. Tried pliers but didnt work. Did you use any spray or tapped on the connector to remove it? Do you have any advice on how to remove it without causing damage to the BCM? Thanks in advance.
Ah, sorry to hear that. It is likely that it melted and then fused a bit to the body computer. I don't really have any secret tips for you other than try wiggling it out a little bit from each side. Also make sure the direction is perfectly perpendicular, and you are pushing the release tab.
@@ericinthewild I managed to get it out by using brute force.The previous connector was destroyed.I replaced the connector and I have ordered LED lights so as to have half the consumption of the halogen lights.
I used pliers! It gets stuck because of the heat melting it... depending on how much it melted, it might be very hard to get off. Just be careful but pry each side off little by little.
I've got exactly the same wiring problem in my Fiat Panda 1.3. Thanks!
Thanks for the guide. Changed the connector and the two cables, didnt work on first try, so I removed the fuses and connected it again amd it worked
Best video ever! It helps me a lot! Thank you
Thanks for the guide. Fixed my lights.
Glad I could help
Nice joob 👍👍👏👏👏
Do you need to disconnect the battery before removing the fuses and wires?
I always would. On our 2011, the negative terminal has a quick release machanism.
Thank you so much :)

Yes you can get the wires repaired, take the car to an auto electrical shop they should be able to fix it for cheap if it's just insulation.

@@ericinthewild thanks for the answer! Truth is I already tried that... Maybe some contact spray for lubrication so as to break the adhesion?

Thanks for solution
Super, thanks

Thank you
Works for a small amount of time as you didnt do anything to the other side which is burnt also
Cioè....a me il lavoro e sembrato ben fatto.
