Nissan 3-Pin Light Wire Harness Connector – Female OEM

This 3-pin female connector is used in Nissan lighting harnesses including headlight, tail light, fog light, and DRL (Daytime Running Light) circuits. Nissan’s 3-pin light connector carries the three essential lighting circuits – typically main beam/DRL power, ground, and a control or position light circuit – in a compact sealed housing designed for the moisture-exposed lighting environment. Available bare or with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Key Specifications

Nissan Lighting Connector Failure Patterns

Nissan lighting connectors fail in predictable patterns depending on location. Headlight connectors near the engine bay suffer from heat and vibration; tail light connectors in the trunk or tailgate area suffer from moisture ingress and road spray; fog light connectors in the lower bumper are exposed to road debris and water immersion. In all cases, terminal corrosion causes the affected light circuit to fail intermittently before failing permanently. On Nissan CONSULT diagnostic systems, this appears as B-code lighting circuit faults. The 3-pin connector is particularly common in Nissan’s fog light and DRL circuits, where the three pins carry power, ground, and the BCM-controlled DRL dimming signal.

Variant Guide

• Female – Bare 3-pin housing with terminals
• Female 15CM – Pre-wired with 15cm leads for direct splice-in installation

Installation Steps

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery
2. Access the affected light connector (headlight, tail light, or fog light location)
3. Release the locking tab and unplug the original 3-pin connector
4. Inspect all 3 terminals for corrosion or heat damage
5. Transfer terminals to the new housing or splice in the pre-wired variant
6. Reconnect and verify all light functions; clear B-codes with Nissan CONSULT if required
