Interesting Delanair III failure mode

Interesting Delanair III failure mode
A bit hard to see, but corrosion on pin 1 (the lower pin) was making the connection to the ECU intermittent.
The corrosion was on (or I should say "in") the socket...
...and on the plug.
I've no idea how to clean the insides of these holes out.
Jumpering from the wiring harness to test pin 1 corrected the issue, but wasn't sure how to make this a permanent solution.
Then it occured to me to just plug the wiring harness into the test socket! This is working for the moment. Some day (probably not until it breaks again) I'll hunt down a newer connector and replaced the corroded one.

Where did you find the connectors?
One problem with my *fix* is that with the first bank of wires plugged into the diagnostic port, there can be interference from the curved bracket that guides the glove box cover into place. My temporary fix for that was just to remove the offending bracket. Since there is one on each side the glove box still works as required.
Thanks,
John

I didn't, I used a generic connector, cut off the old ones both sides of the cable and crimped the new ones on.I spent hours on Google looking for the ECU header but no luck.
You could solder wires to the pins on the PCB then use an connectors on a short lead. fill the connector on the PCB with silicone.
