Peugeot / Citroën / BMW 12-Pin Display & Instrument Cluster Connector – Female OEM

This 12-pin female connector is used in Peugeot, Citroën, and BMW display module and instrument cluster harnesses. The 12-pin configuration integrates display data, CAN bus, power, and illumination circuits for the instrument cluster or infotainment display module. Available bare or with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Key Specifications

Why Display Connectors Fail

Instrument cluster and display module connectors are subject to vibration from the dashboard, heat from the display backlight, and repeated plug/unplug cycles during cluster replacement. Terminal oxidation or housing damage causes instrument cluster blackouts, warning light malfunctions, speedometer/tachometer failures, or U-code CAN bus communication faults with the cluster module. Replacing the connector restores full display circuit integrity.

Installation Steps

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery
2. Remove the instrument cluster or display module from the dashboard
3. Release the locking tab and unplug the original 12-pin connector
