Tailgate question

[Matty223]

Does anyone know where I can find this plug as mine has burnt out it is the blue circled one This located in the boot and this plug connects to the boot handle microswitch.
Thanks

There are several plugs available as part of a repair kit for the Picasso rear tailgate - most are for the connectors to the lamp and lighting circuits and I can't see one exactly like this, but pop into the dealer and they can see if they have them or can order one in for you. They should be pretty common from auto electrical suppliers. I suspect a bad earth if it has burned one of the pin or socket areas.

Thanks for the reply

Breaker's yard...

Something wrong somewhere as that should only carry a tiny current, and then only when the switch is pressed. No way it should burn out!

The connector part number is 6541G8 & is £6 + VAT. Cant get the part no of the terminals just now as it wont display them.
I agree with Richard though, there is something seriously wrong if that connector is burnt out, You should only have a couple of miliamps in those wire & only for a second as the switch is pressed. It's normally water ingress that kills these switches

Thank you very much been looking everywhere.

This is what I found connected inside the microswitch, looks melted to me, who knows what the previous owner had done to it.
