Terminal Style Or Pn?

I am trying to locate a Nissan part number, or at least a style so I can order elsewhere, for the little metal terminals inside the harness connector for the IPDM. I’ve searched online with no real options. I called a Nissan dealership, and he said Nissan doesn’t sell the individual terminals, and that to get the connector & terminals, you need to buy the harness.

the service manual I have says the connector is a HS style connector, but all the pictures of the terminals I’ve seen online look nothing like what I have. I’d really like to avoid jamming a run of the mill female spade terminal if I can, so if anyone has a good part number, or even better, a place I can buy a handful, I’d be appreciative. Here is a picture for reference.

Yeah, I’m not really interested in hacking up harnesses. If I had a part number, I’d be good to go. I was able to find two sizes online that are this style or very close to it. I’m kind of irritated with Nissan. As a Cat technician, I carry literally every style pin and socket we use, and can order any connector or specialty pins and sockets if I need to.

The funny thing is when the guy at the Nissan dealership told me there were no socket part numbers, I asked him how the mechanics make repairs. He said they either replace the whole harness or just make something else work, like a female spade and epoxy to hold it in place. I’ve replaced buckets of connectors in my day. And even I’ll admit that there are times when you just gotta get the equipment off a mountain, or get a hospital generator back online. But making a habit of it, and worse, a permanent repair, is asking for trouble. I’ve followed around my fair share of hack mechanics, and have to repair their “fixes.” :rolleyes:

Neither am I, just pointing out that it's the easiest fix if you can't locate the pin. It makes sense a dealer would just replace the harness entirely, it's faster and eliminates the problem that caused a pin to pull out in the first place.

Not necessarily. Many OEM harnesses on the machines I work on are breathtakingly expensive and have a long lead time. It’s oftentimes cheaper to just repair the wire(s) or connector. And most of the time, if I’m replacing pins, I’m probably replacing the connector too. For instance, I had an asphalt grinder go down because the connector itself broke. It took me all of five minutes to replace the connector. The pins and sockets were fine. So out come the ole release tool and I put together a new connection. Cost the customer $10 in parts plus my labor. But his machine was up the same afternoon, making him money. Yeah yeah, I know, that’s different because it’s a machine. But that’s where I’m coming from. And I want my shiat to show the same level of pride I have when I’m working on other people’s shiat.
