Front headlight connector.

Unread post by adhock »

Hi!

I am trying to figure out the electric schematic on our cars front connector. The reason is that i would like to add more light to the car (auxiliary light) since about 5 months are spent driving in darkness.

But what i am trying to figure out is if the car has a signal i can use for the relay to switch on or if i need an expensive digital decoder for the CANBUS.

Questions:
1. Anyone who has done this?
2. Anyone know where to find the electrical diagram?

Unfortunately the diagrams I have access to only cover vehicles up to 2013 so I cannot find your diagram. We do have members who have their own access to the Stellantis Database and hopefully one of them will see your post and help you out. Good luck :)

I think you're going to have to pull the plug out of the back of the headlamp and then see which wire goes live when you switch main beam on.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Yes, there seems to be no information at all about this car.

I tried removing the connector but i can not even disconnect it. I got the orange tab to slide out but it is still 100% stuck. Is there another locking mechanism?

I don't think so. Slide the orange tab back and then be a bit more insistent on the plug coming out.

Did not work :(

But i finally got it out after breaking the orange tab and using a small screw driver.

I used a multi-meter and found that the blue wire gives me 12v+ when flashing the high-beams.
