873871 Cable Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta cable kit for the 2x8-pole connection, from the Cables and Fuses group, weighing 1.361 kg and listed for 18 applications across the TAMD, KAMD and KAD series. Cable kit 873857 carries the identical 2x8-pole description and the same 18 applications at 0.61 kg, so nothing in the published notes tells the two apart — order by part number.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Instruments or warning lamps cutting out when the loom is moved
• Green or powdery corrosion on the 8-pole connector pins
• Outer sheath chafed or cracked at a bulkhead pass-through
• Connector latch broken so the plug works loose
• Stop or alarm circuits operating intermittently

🛠️ Service Notes

• Inspect the mating housings and wedges first — a spread or pushed-back pin gives the same fault
• Note which kit the boat was built with, since 873857 and 873871 are not separable from the published notes
