OVERVIEW
Factory two-pin housing with the original locking arrangement
6Q0-972-623-M is the Genuine VW/Audi two-pin contact housing with contact-locking mechanism for the assigned wiring-set connection on the confirmed New Beetle applications below.
The yellow housing and black locking feature form the original connector shell. Pin count and color alone are insufficient to identify a replacement; match the full suffix, mating keying, terminal type and circuit position.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: 6Q0-972-623-M.
- Factory specification: 2-pin; contact-locking mechanism; complete number 6Q0972623M.
- Design: molded yellow electrical connector housing with locking feature.
- Quantity supplied: one individual connector housing.
This listing supplies the housing shown, not a prewired pigtail or an electrical device. Terminals, repair wires and any required seals are separate. Adjacent catalog housings with different suffixes are not automatically interchangeable.
Common reasons to replace
- The molded housing is cracked or damaged.
- The locking feature no longer secures the connection.
- The terminal-retaining arrangement is damaged.
- The original shell is missing during wiring repair.
- A previous repair used the wrong connector housing.
Identify the exact circuit and inspect terminals, wires and the mating connector. Replacing the shell alone does not repair damaged contacts or wiring. Yellow restraint-system connections require the specific factory restraint repair procedure.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory wiring procedure and, where applicable, the restraint-system isolation and waiting instructions. Use the prescribed terminal tools and repair parts, preserve the original cavity assignments and do not probe a restraint deployment circuit with ordinary test equipment.
Confirm that contacts and locks seat correctly and that the harness is routed without tension. Complete the prescribed diagnostic and functional checks for the serviced circuit.
Ordering information
One individual genuine housing. Terminals, wires, seals, mating parts and electrical devices are separate. Confirm VIN, original housing suffix and circuit position.
