Engine harness connector

I went to hell and back replacing the plug into my PCM. Not because it was stuck but because I thought there was a possibility I had a bad connection. I ended up buying the plug off Ebay. They lopped it off and left me about a foot of wires. I ended up removing each wire from the Ebay connector and re-plugging each one from my truck harness back into the Ebay plug. If you ever do anything like that, get a hold of me. I can save you a tremendous headache...Trust Me! I have a whole long thread on this somewhere. Let me know if you want to look it over and I'll dig it up.

Flounder IDK what that picture is. Are you asking about the connectors that go on the end of each wire in the 60 pin connector?
WOW I found this https://starparts.chrysler.com/starl...n/Electric.pdf The direct link will go to a 404not found so use the wayback machine. https://archive.org/ Clink on the highlighted day of the month then choose the link that drops down. Sometimes there are several on one day. That is just how many times it was captured that day.
I clicked because the blurb said "Wiring harness pin diameter should be .055". Use the male terminals on your PCM as a gauging tool. •Excessive current on certain connector pins may damage the SMEC/SBEC. Use of a test lamp or a short in the wiring harness of the vehicle can cause this condition. Always use a DVM when checking the unit/system." So if you want the wire end it is an .055" inside dia connector.
I didn't go into this site but they are showing the internal connector next to the plastic housing so there may be possibilities with them. https://www.waytekwire.com/products/1598/Connectors/

here is a vid for removing the wires from the connector
And a connector you may be able to use the wires from.https://www.ebay.com/itm/254428522762
I saw two this was the cheapest they were both cut off short like this.

I bought a big group of tools for pretty decent price a while back for the other old truck off ebay. They are thin metal probably aluminum. Nothing like the one in that link. The Merkur boys page that showed taking an SMEC apart is no longer up. I know it involves removing that red piece.

I have a spare 60 pin connector that I got from EBay, so I have the luxury of practicing. After I took out the red bracket, I pulled the pin out by inserting a very small screwdriver inside the connector, gently pushing the pin tab away from the pin, and pulling the pin out the other side.
After looking for the pins on the web, at four electronics part shops, and three auto parts shops, Kelly, the parts wizard at the local Carquest shop found what I think is the correct female pin, Standard ignition part# CG51. Carquest stopped stocking them but Kelly found 20, still on the shelf in Salt Lake City. I’m just outside Sacramento. The pins should be here today or tomorrow. We’ll see if they are the right pins.

Good work!
