Subject:      Another D15 connector failure example
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8


I recently bought half of a van with my neighbour. Salvage title. A restored 86 westy that had an engine fire. A lot of work went into that van, sad to see it ruined.


Anyway, I pulled the fuse panel the other week and found a good or is it bad? example of the notorious D15 connector burn.

It’s a bad one, it should have, by rights, stopped the van. I doubt the engine fire shorted the circuit causing this much damage. The corresponding white connector on the wiring loom was really badly burned. Appeared to me to be chronic heat via bad contact .
