crazyd Posted Wednesday at 12:03 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 12:03 AM 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 Wednesday at 02:18 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 02:18 AM 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
crazyd Posted Wednesday at 11:44 PM Author Report Posted Wednesday at 11:44 PM Wow, did I catch you on a bad day? Quote
Schurkey Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago 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
