number plate connector

[stephen.rooke]

Hi.

got a 1 series, 3013 f20. number plate light was out on the back, the connector has corroded and is nackered. i have got a new light for it but also need a connector (on the wire into car). this easily done at a garage or will they want to replace the harness. any ideas what cost is likely to be? MOT tuesday so need to sort it,

Morning Stephen

I would check www.realoem.com often there are repair kits available from BMW. I would try a good electrical contact cleaner with a sliver of emery board (my wife loves it when I cut bits off her nail boards!! not) If the connectors are beyond saving then it is only 2 wires so a new connector should be 10 mins with a soldering iron and some shrink wrap
