Default 4 pin connector for fuse - wiring for towbar

Hi!

Can anyone tell me where I can find 4 pin connector on a picture attached.

this is a connector for powering a module for tow bar and connects fuse to the battery. I have cable with fuse but I need a connector to connect it.

I don’t want to cut the factory cable in the car!

Thanks

You don't say what year, but on both of mine, '11 and a'12, the trailer harness from battery to vehiccle loom, has a fuse a 4 pin connector and a ring terminal.

The 4 wire connector goes to a connector that you will find taped to the core support or left side headlight. MIght be black or gray. There is 1 wire on that connector.to. It is a sob to find it sometimes, but it is there. The ring terminal is what goes to the battery.

I thiink the wire in the vehiclle loom is red-matching the piece that you are trying to fing a home for.

Sorry guys I had an error and couldn't erase bike picture link.
milliesdad: I've found the connector, this is my hand holding it.

I would like to buy male and female connector (new) to fix the existing cable with fuse to connect it to the car connector on the picture.
It's for '08 year.

Dealer for OEM. But probably onlu with the complete tow bar lighting kit. It's the easiest way to wire for a trailer.

Other choice would be to make your own and clip the vehicle end and use a connector that you have both ends for.

The kit was about $70.00 and included the converter box for the 5 to 4 wire plug. I bought mine on line. The rest of it pugs into a connector in the cubby hole whee the tool kit is, and has everything from there to the 4 pin connector at the hitch.

I have the complete kit already installed but lost the original cable. The kit company sent me the needed cable but without the connector. They don't have it.

you might be able ti get the mating connector fron a Mitsu dealer.

other option would be a complete connector of some sort from a donor car in a salvage year, and the wires soldered to your wires.

are you using the OE mitsubishi kit or is this an after-market kit. If it's an after market, the connector will not be there as they are generic in their connections. Try the MItsubishi parts room. They might have the mating connector worst case is order the connecting wire separate.

It's an aftermarket kit and you are right the connector hasn't been supplied with the kit.
I tried to found the separate wire with connector and had no luck.
Do you mean Mitsubishi parts room in the forum?
