Does anyone know a spot to purchase a 12177081 10-Way F 150 series connector for the Throttle Actuator Module C-2 position? I'm getting an internment reduced power but when I moved the harness it went away, assuming either the connector is bad or a wire. I looked for it but apparently I need to purchase like 800 units. Also, does anyone know if engine grounds provide the grounding points for this unit? Update (found the ground G104 )

Thanks in advance

 

The connector itself does not really have anything to go bad. There is a problem with one of the terminals within the connector or the wire itself somewhere. Complete Delphi connectors are somewhat pricey and you need the proper type of crimpers for the terminals (typical crimpers will not work right on them). In any case you are going to have to find exactly where the fault is via physically examining things. If a wire break that is a simple fix. If it is one of the terminals you can carefully extract just the terminal that has an issue and probably get away with soldering the wire to it and then re-insert it into the plastic connector housing.

In any case the Metripack 150 series (and other series) come in a variety of configurations. In other words there is not just one 10 position 150 series, there might be several depending on if its interior use, exterior use, mountable, etc. Most can be found on Amazon though with some searching.

 

from 2003 to 2006 GM had some issues with certain trucks with electronic throttle control, around 6" from the connector near the air valve, wires would break inside the insulating coating (very hard to identify).

not sure if the h2 was included in the list of trucks with this issue,

Where is that connector located?

It’s located behind the fuse box on the firewall

 

Is that one of the plugs on the TAC module?

Yes it’s the smaller plug closest to the engine

 

rockauto shows 2 different plugs for the TAC

Oh wow thanks, didn’t know they sold connectors. Thanks for the link

found it here matches the H2 circuits as well, with correct colored wires
