Hi
Just recieved my MJLJ today.
I was worried about the availability of the Molex connector, but there is no problem with that at all.
1) Brent had included a molex connector
2) The molex connector is the same as the connector (22 pin) you find on a normal PC power supply!
All you need to do is walk to the electronics dumpster at take the connector from a old PC and take it home.
Once home, saw off the 6 extra pins. Check that you saw off the right 6 pins! check the shapes of the pins you need them to match up with the connector on the mjlj.
Then remove the hook from the connector.
There you have it!
Yes, you are missing the hook to lock the connector in place, but I dont think it is a problem.
The is no way of inserting the connector a wrong way due to the different shapes of the pins (again: check and match pin-shapes before cutting).
Enjoy

I'd still be concerned about the absence of the latch- considering you are likely putting the unit in a high vibration environment.

Works really well for a test
Works really well for a test bench though!
Is the missing hook still a
Is the missing hook still a problem if you put a big rubber band around the ECU and molex?
