Tracker1989-2004
This compact SUV proved itself to be a fine ecnomical vehicle, good for making its way along any type of surface. Platform: CAMI (Suzuki)
The Chevy service manual calls out dozens of splices like this one.
Suzuki calls these splices Junction Connectors (J/C). They come in different
configurations but this straight-line 10-cavity joint connector is the most
common. I counted twenty joint connectors listed for the 2.5L engine.
The example Suzuki gives appears to show three joint connectors in one plastic body.
The only photos I could find are from a Suzuki Forenza. I have yet to locate a joint connector in my own vehicle. They are deep inside the dash.
Again I believe this photo represents two 10-pin joint connectors.
The wires in the joint connector are shorted together by a metal comb inserted at the top of the plastic body. It has been reported that these shorting
bars can lead to poor connections. Some have gotten hot enough to melt the connector body.
All ten wires do not need to be shorted together. Here a 10-pin connector (C66) is divided into the smaller joint connectors (per Suzuki).
This is the same connector called out by Chevy.
Suzuki calls this connector E01.
Chevy calls it SP200. It's different from a normal joint connector in that the metal come bolts
to the frame. If you have a photo of an actual Tracker joint connector, please post it here.
Your posts are appreciated by me !! I bought my 2002 ZR-2 in December 2013. I did not pay much and did not expect much from this ZR-2. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I battled many issues with it but the most baffling is the wiring. The interior courtesy lights (Domes and mirror) did not work and I had a problem with the Daylight Lighting. There has been a slight smell of burning (Periodically) in the inside. It does not occur often. I disconnected the Daylights after finding a circuit board under the dash which was burnt up. I then rigged wiring up the passenger door post which permits me to use the 2 mirror lights for night if I need interior light. I determined the dome wiring is shorted out. I am content with the situation but never could trace the smell down. I installed a Remote Start in the vehicle 3 years ago and it has been great... The picture is 6+ years old showing the Daylight Circuit board with the burnt components. I did acquire a used board but something else must have been faulty so I gave up and do not care anyway.
