rusty_wingnut Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Does anyone know how this connector comes apart without breaking it? I think I have a broken wire at one of the terminals. 2008 FL2..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Does that green tang pull out the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 It does - it’s soft rubber, worried I’m going to destroy the connector if I poke some mig wire down the holes in the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocklandjohn Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Will the individual terminals pull out rearwards individually if a thin flat thing is shoved down beside them? I had to do this recently with an Eberspacher one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigj66 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 You can get special tools like this that will allow you to take the terminal out without damaging the plug. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38PCS-Car-Terminal-Removal-Tool-Wire-Plug-Connector-Extractor-Puller-Release-Pin/274486172818?hash=item3fe8a69c92:g:OooAAOSwp7de4Hvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It's an FCI (now Delphi/Aptiva) SICMA 1.5mm Mini-Sealed connector, which comes apart like this - The terminals are inserted on their side and are retained by the 'fingers' in the housing, locating into the recess on the terminal - . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks interesting to have around for the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
