Hello Sport Trac Friends , I Am New To This Form , So Today I Was Replacing My Map Lights And When I Twist Them To Take Them Out , The Harness Or Wires That The Light Bulbs Get Juice From Broke.

Any Way To Replace Or Fix This Problem?

What is it called?

Its called a bulb socket connector, but if the wires broke off, you will have to rewire the new socket as they typically have little crimp-on connectors that fit into the bulb socket connector and some may be solder connections.

oo!. thanks alot.! where can i purchase a new connector? whats wrong is that just the golden pieces are broke. :-/

You can get them from any '95-01 Exploer, '01-03 Ex Sport, '01-05 Sport Trac. I'd either solder the connection back together if possible or go to the local junkyard and pull them out of the listed vehicles above.

Anyone know what bulb # the dome lites are & if they make an LED version? I just replaced my puddle lites w/LED's & they are awesome!

This one looks better and easier...

 

[Junior Montes]

what do you mean pull them out? and how?

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

You can either disconnect the harness connection, cut the wires to the hareness and splice into yours or take the whole console. I would solder the connec tions back together but if you don't know how then just do one of the above.

Same thing happened in mine, I figured it was no problem as long as they didn't touch (short), and the bulb holder made contact with each side?

 

[Junior Montes]

where can i get the whole console and correect name to look for?

 

[Junior Montes]

is there a way i can see how its done?
