Does anybody know the correct name for these terminal connectors, it’s part number 12495154, I’ve searched online but I can’t get a name for them, I’ve found loads of sites that sell them but there polish site and I’m after a UK suppler like mouser but I haven’t got a clue what there called,

It’s for the rear tail lights, I want to fix a corroded pin and I don’t want to pay £30 for a new harness when it’s only the pin terminals that need replacing,

What's this: https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/fiat-alfa-romeo/fiat-alfa-romeo-12495154-terminal/ ?
No pictures, but price is low, so it's pins maybe?

If you can't find the UK's source, maybe try to buy it from abroad, search eBay, worldwide.
It might be a custom Molex job for the Fiat (K1103 or 12495154 pins number, for connector it's 12495980).

Here is a 10 pieces pack for about 2 pounds (plus shipping, should be about 4-5 quid): https://www.e-connectors.pl/pl/p/Konektor-K1103-10szt/2443
But if you switch to English, item does not exist in the shop. Plus, it's broken-English. Looks "fishy".

Nice one, If I can’t source them I’ll try and see if spade connectors will work as a temp fix,
 
Managed to get 2 second hand tail lights from scrappy, I also cut the wiring plugs off as well ?. I re-wired soldered the passeneger side to a new plug and it’s perfect, no flicking when indicating And braking at the same time so I know that has a good ground, The drivers side how ever, I didn’t change the plug on that because the pins were ok I just used sandpaper and come contact cleaner just for piece of mind, but when the side lights are on and you put a right indicator on I noticed the tail lights flicker ever so slightly, when I mean slightly, you can just about see it to the naked eye, it’s not a massive problem it’s just I’m a perfectionist and if I no it’s there I need to fix it properly, I take it this is a ground issue, does the drivers tail light have a separate ground to the passenger side?

Hi Liam,

yes they have two separate grounding points, see diagram ...

Hi Bernie, I dont have any experience reading that kind of circuit diagram. Can you tell me what the B inside a square means? Is there some significance to the letters inside squares? What is the square describing?
 
Hi Liam, it's just to physically identify (locate) the connector, i.e: C015 "B" or C015 "C" are two different lugs (B & C) connected to grounding point C015 (which is in the left "A" pillar).
Might be much clear on this diagram:

Thanks that is very clear now.

That’s brilliant Bernie, I’ll print these off and have a look the week end, To test it’s a ground issue I suppose I can just get a strip of wire connected to the body of the car and just back probe the ground pin and see if the flicker is still there,

Am I correct to say the Ground for the drivers tail light runs all the way from the the passenger footwell, CO15B

Hi Liam,

regarding the harness path I can't tell how it's done on RHD cars but I think they did NOT mirrored everything so my guess is yes. To confirm just check the presence of C015 on the LEFT A pillar (@ the bottom), You'd have to remove some trims/carpet to find it.
