How to remove pins from a connector / Depinning Connector

  • "How to remove pins from a connector" or "How to depin a connector" are really common questions I get from friends when they are wrenching on their cars. Year ago I discovered a really easy way to de-pin wires from connectors using a hair clip with some minor modifications, and I'm showing you exactly that in this video. This specific wiring connector is from a fuel injector, and I cut one in half so that you could see the cutaway version with the terminals, and have a better understanding of what is inside. Hopefully it helps you out with your automotive project!

    I spent 6 hours trying to remove a pin from a Denso 2 pin connector. After watching numerous useless videos, I finally came across yours and I had the connector out in 30 seconds.
    Thanks for the cutaway view and the effort you took to show us the inside latch clipping the connector in place.

    I've watched and rewatched your wiring a car videos. They are so amazing. How ever, only 1 video I watched had the dummy light, and none included those tiny dash lights in the gauge cluster or warning lights.
    Any chance you could maybe do a video for these? I'm gonna rewire my whole car this month ( 1975 mopar ) and it would help me finish out the rest you haven't covered.
    Keep the great videos coming.

    Hey, I've been watching some of your videos. I recently installed LEDs on my bike, and got an LED relay for them. It works, but if I don't take out the blinker pilot light, all four signals start blinking no matter which direction I push the switch. Could you make a video explaining why that is?

    • @WiringRescue
      @WiringRescue  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s because the blinker light on the handlebars is connected to both the L and the R directionals. So when either side is turned on, it passes the power from one side to the other. Normally the switches in steering columns of cars manage that, but if you’re doing something custom, you may need some diodes to make it work. Honestly, I’ve never tried though. So I’m not entirely sure.

      Sadly I think it is different for every car maker, so this information is not in any single place. Maybe I’ll work on building out this information though.
