Default Electrical Connectors

I had a bad electrical connector on my seat harness, did a little digging and found out where to get the metal portion of the connector. Got the info from the parts counter manager at my local dealership (they aren't all bad, these guys are great and go out of their way to help me)

The connectors are called Metri-pack and three sizes are common on the C5, the Metri-pack 150, the Metri-Pack 280 and the Metri-pack 480. The 150 means the male spade is 1.5 mm wide, the 280, the spade is 2.8 mm wide, and the 480 4.8mm wide. There are 2 configurations, sealed and not sealed.

The one under the seat is not sealed. and is a Metri-pack 280. And for example, the connectors on the wheel bearings are sealed metripack 150's

If you google Metri-Pack 280, you will see lots of vendors selling them. I bought a pack of 25 of the size I needed for less than $10 shipped.

Hope this helps.
