Au-ve-co Products 23263 Weather Pack Connector 18 Gauge

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 23263 is an 18-gauge automotive weather pack connector designed for reliable electrical connections in harsh underhood and exterior environments. It ships with an 8-inch wire pigtail, giving technicians enough lead to work with during splicing or harness repair. Weather pack connectors use a sealed, locking body to protect terminals from moisture, road debris, and vibration - factors that cause premature failure in unprotected connections. Automotive electricians and shop technicians install this connector as a direct-fit repair or replacement component on GM vehicle platforms. The 18-gauge wire rating suits low-current sensor, switch, and signal circuit applications.

This connector is suited for light-duty automotive electrical repair work on GM vehicles. Common applications include sensor pigtail replacement, body harness repairs, and connector restoration where the original weather pack terminal has been damaged or corroded. The sealed design makes it appropriate for underhood locations, door jambs, trailer hitches, and other areas exposed to water and contaminants. Shops handling GM warranty repairs, fleet maintenance, or insurance restoration work will find this a standard-fit solution for single-circuit weather pack positions.

Key Features

• 18-gauge wire rating suitable for sensor, switch, and low-current signal circuits
• 8-inch wire pigtail provides adequate lead length for in-harness splicing
• Weather pack sealed body resists moisture, vibration, and road contamination
• Locking connector body maintains a secure mating connection
• Designed to fit GM vehicle electrical harness applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on GM vehicles. Fits weather pack connector positions using 18-gauge circuit wiring. Confirm terminal gender, circuit count, and cavity position against the OEM harness before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive electricians or experienced shop technicians. Disconnect the vehicle battery before working on any electrical circuit to prevent shorts or accidental deployment of safety systems. Use the correct weather pack terminal removal tool to extract damaged terminals without damaging the connector body. Splice connections should be made using the appropriate crimp method or solder-and-shrink technique per shop standard practice - never use bare twist splices in sealed harness circuits.
