Why are my Vanagon tail lights flickering or not working at all? What does this kit fix?

It's a common issue on Vanagons where the original tail light plug boots degrade over time, letting moisture get into the wiring harness. This moisture causes corrosion on the terminals inside, leading to connection failures and problems like flickering or no tail light at all. This kit replaces those degraded boots and provides new, correct terminals to restore a reliable connection for your Vanagon's tail lights.

What exactly is included in the Tail Light Plug Boot & Terminal Kit?

This kit includes two new rubber plug boots designed to fit your Vanagon's tail light sockets, preventing future moisture intrusion. It also comes with five 14-18 GA female terminals and five 10-12 GA female terminals, ensuring you have the right replacements for both tail light harnesses.

Will this kit work for my specific Vanagon year?

Yes, this kit is designed to fit all 1980 to 1991 Vanagon models. It addresses the common electrical connection issues that affect the tail light system across these years.

I'm not very handy. Are the instructions easy to follow for replacing the tail light plug boots and terminals?

The kit comes with PDF instructions that are designed to guide you through the process. While some basic electrical work is involved, the instructions aim to make the replacement straightforward for a reliable fix to your Vanagon's tail light problems.

Les ampoules des feux arrière vacillent ? Pas de lumière du tout ?

Il est courant sur les Vanagons que les soufflets du feu arrière se dégradent et permettent à l'humidité de pénétrer dans le faisceau de câblage du feu arrière. Une fois exposées à l’humidité, les bornes à l’intérieur du faisceau de câbles se corrodent, provoquant une lente défaillance des connexions au fil du temps. Ce kit propose de nouvelles gaines en caoutchouc et les bornes de remplacement appropriées pour que votre câblage fonctionne de manière fiable pendant encore une décennie ou deux.
