Re: DI Cassette Connector Housing Piece Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Mon, 26 Dec 2005 10:36:52 In Reply to: DI Cassette Connector Housing Piece, Derek, Sun, 25 Dec 2005 14:21:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Yeah that seems to be the 10 pin connector housing for the IDM (and many other applications in the car and other models too that use the 10 pin).
If the wires are unbroken you just need to extract each electric terminal out of the housing and move them over to the new connector housing.
Getting the terminals out of the housing is dirt easy (with the right tools and knowledge) and can be impossible without that.
If you don't have a pin extractor tool you need to find something that is long enough and also flat enough to fit in the flat opening to the side of the pin (inside connector housing).
A small screwdriver won't cut it because of the tapered blade.
You need to get deep down to the side of the terminal to push in a barbed trigger that holds the terminal in the housing.
Wiggling the extractor tool and at the same time pull slightly on the wire usually to it, but somtimes you need to push the terminal inwards to allow the extractor tool to trigger the barb lock.
So technically, it might be easier for you to just buy 10 new connectors and cut and crimp the wires again for the new housing, as long as you are familiar and have good tools for doing a good crimp on un insulated terminals.
You don't want a bad crimp that at some point will create an intermittent glitch.
