Canon Connector
I had a pin in the canon connector on the curbside burn out on my 85 PT40. The
pin appears to be the window lighting for both sides of the lounge area. The male and female both have melted. My question is why? The lights have been working fine and all appeared to be working fine before hand. Could the pin have shorted out due to a bad connection at the connector? Or, do you think something in the lighting has gone haywire (a ballast) that caused the pin to overheat. Can I bypass the canon connector for the lighting (run a wire around the connector)? Any ideas would be helpful since we fulltime and we do enjoy having our lights! Thanks. Jerry 85 PT40 |

Yes,just bypass the canon plug and splice the wire.
Corrosion is most likely the cause of the burnout.
Only other cause may have been a weak ballast at one time causing too much draw on the source.
But most likely it was corrosion.

Hope it works out for you.
It may be an idea to clean up the plug connectors while it's apart using some contact cleaner.
