mrk3cobra Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I just purchased a set of new JDM tail lights from Futofab, the harness connector is different from the OEM harness on my 1971 240Z. Does anyone know which is the correct harness connector, Futofab says is should plug in the OEM harness. You can see from the picture the connecters are totally different. Has anyone had this problem. Is there an adapter to go from the JDM style to the 240Z style connector? Is my car different from all the other 240Z's. The picture on the right is the JDM connector.

psdenno Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Looks like you'll be doing a little rewiring or plug swapping. Did you send a copy of the picture to Futofab for their input? Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Should be able to reuse your old harness as the sockets should be the same. There is a wiring fix you need to do at the light switch to separate the blinker function from the tail lights so the tail lights work correctly (No brake light via the Amber lens.) http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/32228-modify-us-240z-rear-turn-signal-wiring-jdm-style/ This is one but there are others I've seen too.

mrk3cobra Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yes I sent pictures to Futofab they said they do not know why my car is different (they work with there 1971 240Z). I guess I will order new connectors that match and re- wire. My old harness is rusted I do not want to re-use it. I was just wondering if I really have different connectors than other 1971 240Z's.

rturbo 930 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The plugs on my 12/70 240z look just like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk3cobra Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 My 1971 240Z has a build date of 8/70, maybe the series 1 240Z's came with different connectors. Just my thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the JDM connectors just differ from the US versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 For reference/comparison, these are the wiring plug connections for the 1969 and 1970 (and on) rear lamps: ...so the Futofab plugs are nothing like the original "JDM" plugs anyway.

Correct, that's what my JDM harness plugs look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
