Suzuki Cultus 2008 Dashboard Fuse Box Headlights Connector Loose | Islamabad I

[pwuser16528532185]

AOA, I own a 2008 Cultus.

Recently, the fusebox or junction box, whatever it is called underneath the dashboard, got a connector loose. That connector is responsible for Headlights. Now, after a small bump, such as closing the door slightly moves that connector, and my headlights either turn on or off automatically, and I have to keep adjusting the wire in order for them to stop malfunctioning.

This has been bugging me because I've had my battery drained twice because of this issue.
Closed my door in the morning, and the headlights turned on automatically. I couldn't see that, obviously, and my battery drained.

I've tried taping the wires, but they are still loose. Either the connector is loose, or the switch.

Can anyone guide me towards an Electrician who knows what he is doing and fix this issue?

I will attach the pictures of the connector I am having trouble with.

you may try a DIY.

unplug the connectors 1 by 1 from every slot.
use any contact cleaner and soft plastic brush to clean the receptacles.
clean connector and click-fit back.
if you can take the pictures you can do the cleaning as well. no harm.

if it does not work, call up @dani_kk in Islamabad his shop can do the job.

I guess i'll try that, if it doesn't work I'll head to his shop on Saturday.
Thanks brother.

I fixed a simile issue today, obd2 connector unresponsive, i unpinned each contact and used very fine needle probes to lift up the contactors.

I wear a headgear with magnifying glass and lamps to see the tiny pieces.

Found my original account somehow, anyways.

I couldn't get to it, wasn't feeling well. I'll purchase a can of WD-40 and see if that fixes it, otherwise I'll put a small amount of tape in order to make the connector fit in snugly.

Also hi Mr @Xulfiqar, big fan of your knowledge, I am a keen reader of your contributions in past topics.

The problem is not a wd40 or tape stick problem. That meme doesnt apply here.

You need to redo the contactors in the plug one by one and use some actual contact enhancing products if you can find them.

Decided to look in deeper using mobiles camera, thankfully the culprit was caught, a pin was bent causing the connector to not connect all the way. Easily straightened it out with the help of a tweezer.

Alhumdullilah didn't have to do as much work as Mr @Xulfiqar did by pulling and lifting

Thank you @capsat for the original suggestion as well, all the gunk on the connector is removed now too. Hopefully I won't run into this problem for a long time.
