Purpose and Function in the Lighting System

The presented cable with socket and plug is a component from the Rear and Brake Lights group, responsible for proper power supply and signal control of the lamp on the right side of the rear body. Its placement on the vehicle, specified as rear – right side, allows for unambiguous part matching to a specific mounting position, reducing the risk of selection errors.

A properly selected connector minimizes voltage drops, reduces the risk of circuit interruption, and eliminates problems with unstable operation of the position lights, brake lights, or turn signals in the right rear lamp.

Connector Construction and Benefits of Use

The cable with socket and plug has been designed as a dedicated installation element for a specific rear lamp configuration. The appropriate connector shape and wire routing facilitate installation and correct positioning in the space behind the lamp, reducing the risk of mechanical stress and insulation damage.

• Factory fit for the lamp on the right rear side of the vehicle.
• Stable electrical connection with the car's electrical system.
• Reduction of problems with intermittent lighting failures.
• Possibility to replace only the connector without interfering with the entire harness.

Thanks to this solution, typical faults related to overheated, corroded, or mechanically damaged lamp sockets can be systematically resolved.

Application in Ford Focus III

The component has been developed with the Ford Focus III model in mind, meaning compatibility of the connector geometry, pin layout, and cable length with the vehicle's factory installation. This precise fit promotes plug-in installation, without the need for harness modifications or adapters.

In practice, replacing a damaged socket with the presented cable and plug restores the correct operation of the right rear lamp, which directly impacts driving safety and the vehicle's compliance with technical inspection requirements.

Product Condition and Practical Aspects

The offered cable with socket and plug comes from the group of used parts, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair cost and maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Choosing this solution is particularly beneficial when only the connector is damaged, and the lamp itself remains functional.

Before installation, a standard inspection of the vehicle's electrical system is recommended, including the condition of the wires, ground points, and the lamp itself, to ensure that replacing the component yields full results and eliminates potential additional sources of lighting problems.
