i'm trying to pull the wire and connector out of ecu plug b or c (the really small holes) and i don't want to force it out and break it.. so how do i get this out? do i need a special tool?

imported_ERTW

use a sharp pointy object to bend the plastic tab that is holding the little metal connector attached to the wire in the plastic harness connector. its sort of like a barb that lets the metal piece slide in, but not back out.. once you figure out what to bend, the wire will slide out

yeh

you can use those prcision screwdriver sets to push it in and bend the tab

ye i figured it used that.. but which way do i point the sharp object.. through the connector side... or from the wire side facine the ecu? and would i put it in on top of the wire (a way from the center of the plug or closer?

imported_loudsubz

put the tool in the same end the wire goes into the plug

look for the little clip it should be on top pushing down

Gunmetalef

thats what i though.. i couldn't see well.. but i'll try again...

but lesson 1:
do not pull wire with plyers or else you'll leave the connector in there with no wire

lol thanks

hahaha...
dan your wiring is going well if your just pulling it.

there is a little white insert that you have to remove aswell.
on my black connectors there was the plugs that have the wires and a middle hole... i put my tiny a$$ screwdriver in the middle one towards the wire i wanna remove and then push on that while tugging on the wire i wanna remove... but not hard enough to pull the wire apart.


this is the plug

ooooooooooooo2ooooooooo-insert screwdriver here
00000000000001000000000-wires here

if you wanted the wire i put as 1, insert the tiny screwdriver in 2(from ecu0, pointed at 1 push the screwdriver then tug on wire 1

your welcome

I have a special drafting pencil with a metal insert that I use for these jobs... for smaller holes I use a needle or a pin.
