So I've started the CTIS odyssey on my new truck. Previous owner had it disconnected. So I hooked up the ECU, 5 flashlight lights. I am everyone is really shocked by this outcome. But this is not why I am writing, lots of good threads about troubleshooting CTIS.
When I plugged the ECU in I realized that the bayonet barrel (the knurled barrel that locks the plug into the ECU) is missing. Or I presume missing because otherwise I see no way to lock the plug in. Meanwhile, the key barrel (the one with the ridges that prevents you from plugging it in the wrong way) is no longer glued to the connector so I can pull it off (or rotate it any which way!)
Luckily mil spec so the plug and jack are both well labelled. For reference the thick key bar lines up with the A-pin, at least on my truck. I want to repair the connector and have some experience in general with milspec connectors, but I wonder if someone can send me in the right direction (eg what plug series is this, etc). If someone has or could take a photo of a proper plug so I can see & compare the locking barrel that would be super helpful.
I'll look around the cab - maybe it fell off at some point and is rattling around somewhere, but I doubt I am that lucky. Has anyone else run into this issue?
