Hello, Im repairing Tesla Model S (Front Collision TESLA P85. Repair and Troubleshooting Help Needed.). I got stock with wire connector that i need. The wire that goes to DC-DC Converter SIGNAL Plug is messed up completely, The wire harness is just over $1000, and since I just have one damaged wire connector I dont feel like pay $1000 for the whole wire. Maybe Someone can help me with connecting me with someone who parting out the Tesla, or atlest I need just a picture of that connector with wires, so I could see what color goes where??? It just has 5 wires in it. Here is the picture of the converter and my cut wire.

My understanding is that if you know someone in MA the service information that those residents can access is very good and it includes the connector details that you would want.
It is a shame that the rest of us don't have access to such useful data. I suspect the information would be very helpful for allowing safe repairs.

I don't think Tesla is in any hurry to release those data, as it would (dare I say it) drive down their SC revenue...

What is your production date? Is the DC to DC converter in the passenger wheel well or behind the Frunk? I will see if I can pull the wheel liner and take a picture, my DC to DC on my Dec 2013 is in the passenger wheel well. On my March 2014 production P85 I'm not sure where it is....
Not sure why Tesla would release the patents on the market and then screw the owners who are now treading dangerously close to High Voltage lines installing simple things like radar detectors, Blackvue cameras etc.... I almost got smoked poking around with a screw driver in the passenger wheel well - until I realized where that HV output was.... theres enough power in there to make you nice and crispy if you get too close...

This is a common misinterpretation with what Tesla actually did. They didn't release anything that wasn't already published, all they have done is agree not to sue other companies if they use them in "good faith" whatever that means.

Hi everyone. Little Updates, after a little search on Molex website, for 6-pin connectors I was able to find the PLUG that I need. Its MOLEX 19418-0011. Its sold on Mouser for around $5. So it was ordered. Waiting to arrive.
Molex Connector Part Number - 19418-0011

By looking closely and carefully i was able to figure out the wiring on the plug. However, the plug that i ordered the other day didnt come yet. So today i got used another plug, which was similar but not the same. It seems like it worked out and plug goes into dc-dc inverter pretty well. Thanks a lot for all your help and suggestions.
by any chance did they let you know the actual name of where the connector comes from? we are having a hard time finding it. thank you!
