Well you learn something every day. Seven pin plug for the vehicle.

I have a 2011 Isuzu Dmax.

Yesterday I took some rubbish to the tip here on the central coast. Unfortunately I damaged the 7 pin plug on the car.

So bought a plug on the way home and went to fit it today.

When I took the cover off and exposed the inside I found it had 9 pins inside and the standard 7 on the outside. There are 7 standard pins and a slot either side of these 7 pins to take the wires for the LED lights.

So, back to the shop and asked for a plug that matched mine. Well the first two places had never seen one like it before.

Finally found a bloke who knew what it was. It appears that the 2 extra pins relate to the LED lights on your vehicle and there is a sensor strip and some resistors or the like in the plug.

Much to my horror I found that if the plug is not connected the back lights, brake and indicator lights won't work.
I went out to the car and sure enough the lights didn't work until I put the plug back on.

Repco finally found out what I needed and I pick it up tomorrow. A bargin at $27.

Evidently a lot of european and japanese late model cars have this sort of plug.
