Jeep cherokee headlight levelling motor plug
 

Hi forum!
I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee 2.5 Turbodiesel Sport, UK model, S Reg.
Its often referred to as the facelift model.

The electrical connector into the passenger-side headlight levelling motor
unit is buggered.
Some dampness must've got in there and its corroded.
Is it possible to get hold of a new plug with a couple of inches of wires I
can graft into the existing loom?
Does anyone sell stuff like this for Jeeps?

Thankyou.

Dave Milne probably has more info than I do. Wrong side of the pond
here. :)

Dealerships usually have replacement connectors for the most common
problems. I'd start there. Then possibly a salvage yard.

Depending on the pin type you might be able to buy replacement pins
from a local electronics hobby shop or parts house. I've fixed several
connectors by finding similar ones at local auto parts stores.
