Replace a cracked, corroded or heat-damaged plug in the circuit with the Standard Ignition Transfer Case Shift Motor Connector / Tail Light Circuit Board Connector, part number S-2224, the electrical connector that joins the vehicle's wiring harness to the component it serves. It is listed for several models, among them the 1999-2004 Ford F-150, 1999 Ford F-250 and 2008-2011 Jeep Liberty. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, and the Buyer's Guide tab has the full list.

A connector carries current between the harness and the component it feeds. A cracked housing, corroded terminals or a loose fit can leave the circuit intermittent or open. Signs this part may need replacing include a transfer case shift motor that does not respond or works only some of the time. A tail light that flickers or stays dark is another sign, as is visible corrosion, melting or broken locking tabs at the plug. If a failed connector is causing the problem, this part replaces it. Diagnose the circuit first, because switches, motors, bulbs and wiring can cause the same symptoms. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct wiring repair procedure.
