Grote 68680 Plug In Sealed Pigtail

This Grote 68680 is a plug in sealed pigtail designed for automotive lighting connections. It serves as a terminal assembly with blunt cut wires for direct splicing into vehicle wiring harnesses. The accessory uses heavy duty thermoplastic wiring and brass contacts to resist corrosion in harsh environments.

Replaces damaged lamp connectors

The pigtail replaces worn or corroded connectors on compatible lamps including the 5370, 5371, 5372 and 5376 series. It is worth installing when existing terminals show oxidation or when a lamp upgrade requires a fresh sealed connection. The 20 inch lead provides slack for routing.

Suits technicians repairing 5 wire lamps

This part suits technicians repairing or installing 4 or 5 wire lamps that accept OEM Metri Pack 280 style connectors. The 14 AWG wires handle standard lighting currents. Builders needing a different pin count or connector style should look at other pigtail configurations.

Questions about this item

Will the 20 in Metri-Pack 280 connectors on this 68680 pigtail reach the 5370 series lamp housing on my trailer?

The pigtail provides 20 in of 14 AWG wire from the sealed Metri-Pack 280 plug to the blunt-cut ends, giving enough length for most 5370, 5371, 5372 and 5376 series lamp mounts.

Which of the five blunt-cut wires do I connect first when wiring this pigtail into the existing harness?

Match each of the five colour-coded conductors to the corresponding circuit on the vehicle side before crimping; the common mistake is skipping the ground wire and assuming the lamp housing provides it.

How often should I inspect the brass contacts and thermoplastic insulation on this sealed pigtail?

Check the brass contacts for corrosion and the heavy-duty thermoplastic jacket for cracks at every annual trailer lighting inspection or after any submersion event.
