Well, geez. After a day of looking for the correct size female metal actual pin, these are ev6 injectors and just buy some pigtails online. The learning curve of not being an experienced tech is tough some times. Well, thanks for making this video so I can now move forward. Bravo!

Hey Martin , I found a set of those heavier duty ev6 connectors for my 02 Dakota 4.7 rebuild and in the process of soldering them in. One question, does this really change the resistance enough to throw codes ? I’ve read some people saying that and others say it’s a none issue if soldered correctly. Thanks again
@martinbuilt2 жыл бұрын
There is no added resistance or enough to throw any codes I can guarantee you that. I've done a wire tuck on this engine where I had to resolder every fuel injector connector and never had an issue whatsoever.

Look at the connector and you'll notice that there is a number 1 and 2 for each wire on the connector. Match that up with the one you're changing. You may have to look very carefully at the connector to find those numbers but they're there.

You'll need to hold your new pigtail with connector next to your old connector and match wire for wire left to left, right to right.

Thank you, well it is something I do for a living. Like when we were building the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas I soldered over 500 mic lines which is over 1500 wires you tend to get pretty good at it. So I enjoyed soldering instead of using any type of solderless splice. If you're able to Tin the wires before you actually join them together this will help make it easier to solder them together

I don't believe splicing is bad as long as the splice is soldered. Best case would be to remove the terminal from the broken connector and reinserted into a new connector.

Chris Ogaz Yes you should only have the positive cable coming from the battery. Then one connector on the back of the alternator with two wires. I hope it's not your voltage regulator because that is inside the ECM. Those are considered a very good and not prone to going out
