crazyd Posted April 23 Report Posted April 23 I found a replacement plug for my air temp sensor on a junkyard car and am trying to get the wires out of it. I've got a round multi-tool for this that I got on Amazon that has five different tools on it but so far it looks like only the smallest straight-blade tool fits. I pushed the wires through the front of the replacement plug but that doesn't seem like the right way to do it. Quote
Schurkey Posted April 23 Report Posted April 23 You have 'em out of the front of the plastic connector body. Examine the lock-tabs, determine how to release them from the front, so they pull out the rear. Quote
Schurkey Posted Friday at 04:45 AM Report Posted Friday at 04:45 AM The connector body has to come apart somehow--there's likely a plastic lock-tab or two on the body, so the rear "end cap" and weather-seal comes off. Then slide your tool into the gaps from the front, to release the metal lock-tabs on the wire terminals, and pull the wires out the rear. Quote
crazyd Posted Saturday at 03:52 PM Author Report Posted Saturday at 03:52 PM The weather seals on both sides simply pull off, but the connector itself is a single molded piece. I haven't found a way for the wires to come out the back yet, nothing I do seems to release them from the connector housing. Quote
