​@@50plusdad-uk from deep if m'y Heart thank you. FYI i'am on a Z1300 Kawasaki from 1981, doing some modification on the electric wiring. I can't say if these plugs will last 42 years like the kawa did (I bet no), i'am looking for waterproof connectors for the turn signals and some other lights i founded this kind quite serious, until i had to "unpin" when mistake in the colors...

So I spent about $70 for some connectors and tools, Took a deep breath and started working on depinning some wires before I attack the beast and ruin a wiring harness in my car. Thanks for the detailed description of the hammer and how to engage lifting up motion. It worked, removed three pins. It is going to take a bit to develop the right touch. Visualizing that hammer and you lifting up helped. Thanks.

It's easy really if it does not click in with gentle pressure just rotate 180 degrees and try again. Most connectors you can see where it needs to sit ie horizontal or vertical just flip it until it clicks in.

This was pretty good. Speeding through things without the real closeups that you need doesn't help. At the beginning that can leave someone wanting as far as real detail. The last part where you took the Dremel and cut the connector for a lateral peak at the inside was great. Anybody that didn't understand what was going on from there was never gonna figure this out. I had the professional keys to get the connector out and it was still a bit of a challenge to get the wire out. I did get it and your video was the guidance I needed to get it out. 😊 This is a great video. Just a little more detail at the beginning for goober like me would pay off bigtime. Thanks again.

Specialized tools are available for different types of these connectors,but I have fabricated several different ones from slivers of stainless sheet and old paint brush handles.Looks like you have a nice compact set for round pin Amphenol connectors.This is so much better than splicing a new pigtailed one onto the original wiring.

Excellent. About to replace an OBD port with a wrecked pin (and one loose one) After hours of trying, I could not remove the pins at all, and ended up drilling the worst one out! I thought I'd be into cutting all the wires and crimping on replacement pins for the new block. I might just get away with doing a single pin and releasing the rest - you may just have saved me from torching the vehicle 👍🍺 *I have to wonder though, what situation designers had in mind? Do people really remove harnesses and use them to swing from trees at the weekend, remove tree stumps, tow horse boxes? Couplings seem to be severely overengineered - I bet it was the Germans... "In zis scenario, der driver he is hanging die shoppink tasche of many dunkel biers from das wiring harness und driving up a shteep and rocky berg - den coupling is out coming - die automobile ist kranken, dem tasche is fallen, und alles bottles gebroken - ist catastrophe! Telefon Deutsches Institut für Normung- Schnell! Rasch!" 😉

most of these type of connectors work in the same way, as long as you have the lock off (if fitted) you just need to lift the little hammer or peg away from the terminal and gently pull the cable out. Depending on the type you have some locks pull out the end and others release from the side and might just need to be held in. reply with make and part number if you can and i'll take a look to see what's going on with yours.

Question / Advice . So I accidentally damaged a connector for a car at the base ( where the wire goes into the plastic housing ) Would it be possible to pry open the little metal sleeve , remove the cut wire, and simply insert the remainder of the good wire back into the metal sleeve and squeeze it tight again then insert ???
@50plusdad-uk
@50plusdad-uk 2 ай бұрын
Yes I've done this when I couldn't get a replacement, be really careful opening up the terminal just enough to get the wire out use a brad or small watchmakers screwdriver, then put the new wire in, I find it best to solder as well because opening up the terminal can weaken the metal and cause a loose crimp but don't make the solder too big or it won't fit back in the connector. Good luck 👍
