Harley Wiring Extension / Removing Wires From Harness

Рет қаралды 42,458

3 жыл бұрын

After I bought higher handlebars for my Sportster 883, I learned that my wiring was too short. I needed to extend the wires another 8" with a kit I bought.
I couldn't find a video to help me disconnect the OEM wires from the harness! So, here's my humble attempt to help.

Thanks for this video Jason. I have 14” ape hangers and an extension kit for my sportster 1200 on the way to me so I will definitely be using your method here!

Well you saved my husband a ton of headaches and myself cause it’s my bike he is working on. He would rather be doing anything else than putting on my new handlebars. Thank you very much

1:58 into your video is what I wasn't aware of. I've been screwing with a similar under seat plug for over a week. Once you showed how the bottom of that connector comes apart, I was finally able to get the wire out of the plug. Thank you very much.

Holy crap man! I spent like 4 hours trying to figure out how that works I had my tank off handle bars off everything and I could not figure out how those wires pop off and I couldn’t find anything on that. Until I finally found your vid! I’m going to try again and replace my handle bars!

There is a tool for removal of the wire connector pins from Molex connectors but they are rather expensive. I use a #1 paper clip in the small hole just above the connector pin. Then you will hear a click and the pin will come right out. Nice video. Thanks.

I am so glad that I found your video I’ve been trying to get my wires out of these similar plugs in your video for probably an hour now did not find anything telling me about that white piece inside being a locking mechanism. Lol I watched your video watched it again as I did it on my plug wire came right out. I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for making the video because who knows how long it would’ve taken me to figure that out. Lol definitely gonna share this knowledge with other people

@apagliuso80 6 ай бұрын

Excellent, but you don't need to disassemble the back of the connector, just lift the latch and insert a thin paper clip into the corresponding hole, and that's it, the wire is free. We have an extension brand in Brazil called Pandilla Cables, their kits include a tool and an instruction manual.

@geeeee8268 Жыл бұрын

It's in the repair manual. There is actually special tool called "molex pin release tool" that you stick in that little hole on top of the pin hole in the front. But tiny screwdriver works too, or paper clip.
