C102 terminals

[BradyM]

I’m in the process of replacing a few damaged wires in my body wiring harness. Instead of just putting butt connectors inline, I’m unpinning the wires from connector to connector (probably overkill, but that’s the way I want to do it). Does anyone know the name or specs of the terminals in the c102 connector?

Thank you!

I came across this on the Mouser website in my search for contacts to add a wire to the factory harness for the same reason as OP. It is the drawing for the C108 under dash connector I believe. I also think it uses the same contacts as the C110 on the left fender.

The Aptiv Apex 2.8 terminals were the correct part.

Yessir. Just adding info. I ordered some of the contacts so I could run a line from the female side of C110 out to some KC lights I put on the front. I found NOS fog light switch and ordered a relay so I should be able to make it a factory system. I've seen kits that have a wire with the terminal crimped on it already but It was a lot cheaper to order just the terminals.

How on earth did you know that?? Are all the terminal styles documented somewhere? Would be great to have a reference for that.

It’s a very common connector line used by most OEMs. Not jeep specific at all. I do a lot of wiring so I am familiar with a lot of connectors.

For me, the challenge is even knowing how to search it up. If we had a reference for all the connectors and the terminal type it would make some repairs much more feasible. I know I would much rather re-pin a wire than replace an entire connector and splice in every wire when only one or two wires are problematic.

In the old drawings you will see Delphi. They split in 2017 and Aptiv becoming what you see now. Personally I prefer the Deutsch HDP series. Equal parts, just more forgiving in my experience. But that is coming from working on airplanes not cars. Did you get everything replaced and connected? Was there any other damage to the harness? I am going to do a frame swap and looking for hints as to what I might run into.

Finally got it up and running. There were 3 or 4 wires that were damaged where the harness goes under the firewall. Found 4 other wires with damage, however I believe 2 of the other 4 were self inflicted while removing the harness. All good now, no check engine lights and starts every time I turn the key. Good luck on your restoration.
