They are called AMP 1.5 MM Superseal connectors from TE Connectivity.

This is a nice walk-through, thank you. I have only ever been interested in having a little illumination on the plug to aid with plugging in at night. I might try this with a short piece of LED strip instead of lining the entire circumference. Thank you!

I just tried this with my 23 EUV. A very difficult task that I failed at. The battery tray has 5 wire harness clips on it that are very hard to remove. Also the positive cable is between the tray and a bracket which requires the tray to be shimmied out. There are 2 connectors attached to the cpu. The 2 1.5mm pins are extremely hard to get all the way into the connector. The first 3 tries they broke off. The 23 bolt euv uses pins 6 and 7. Everything went back together fairly easily. The biggest problem was soldering the wire onto the led strip. After 6 or 7 tries, I gave up. They kept coming undone when trying to stick the strip to the interior of the charge port. I wish everyone good luck

Hey, I also have a 2023 bolteuv, I went ahead and took it apart, and I found the connector had pins and wiring running thru it already. I went ahead and put it back together. Trying to research where those wires run to? I still haven't pulled the tire to look inside the fender. Would anyone have any idea where to find those wires end up?

Cool mod but a bit daunting. I would also be interested in buying completed kit if you get that option. My solution was tiny stick on LED light but I love that yours is more synced with dash charging light.

Hey there, just got back from back to back road trips to NV & AZ. The charge port light is working great. It really makes a huge difference on pitch black nights. Actually, even in the day time it helps. Makes lining up the CCS or J-1772 effortless. I will be offering kits with a warranty. I just haven't had the time to do it. Thanks for reminding me!

What's the voltage at the pin header? That determines your LED configuration. I'm thinking why do we need a light all the way around the plug, all that's needed is an LED or two, that's plenty of light.
@theevolvingworld
@theevolvingworld Год назад
It's the typical 12v like all the other accessories. It's a clean OEM style thing. This is far better than the OEM part for a fraction of the cost.
@mosfet500
@mosfet500 Год назад
@@theevolvingworld Thanks for the reply. That's my point, the number of LED's is relative to the working voltage. What happens in LED bulbs designed specifically for, say, 12V is that each LED's is balanced for a specific current at 12V. What's the current draw of your home made strip? Divide that by the number of LED's in parallel and you'll get the current for each LED. That's important to know, if you exceed it LED life is shortened.

In your video there is only the cpu to remove from the battery tray. My 2020 bolt has five different wire harness clipped to the battery tray. Do you know the proper technique to remove these wire harness clips? Thanks for the video
@theevolvingworld
@theevolvingworld 5 месяцев назад
Minor detail, but thanks for bringing it up. Yes, my car had them too. You use some wire cutters to carefully cut them out. You can then use nylon cable ties to tidy up after. Or pry them out with a pry tool to be pushed back in after.
@KentQuickstad
@KentQuickstad 5 месяцев назад
Thanks for the reply! I ended up cutting the ties but regretfully wish I had tried prying them off for reuse. Oh well, thanks again for the amount of detail in this video. Great mod to the Bolt.@@theevolvingworld
