Electrical issues are tough! The good news is that you should be able to easily replace your connector and be on your way to living your best life this summer.
Here’s how to remove a car electrical connector:
  • Remove the rubber insulation of the connector. Then, you’ll be able to remove the wires.
  • You’ll want to access the wire terminal. The wire terminal has a bracket that fits into the step in the connector. The housing prevents the terminal from being pulled out.
  • To pull the wire out, push the bracket over the step. With some connectors, this can be tricky to do.
  • A toothpick or connector clamp can be used to get the wire terminal out.
  • Be sure to note which wires go into which side of the terminal, should you want to replace it yourself as well.
Now that you know how to remove your truck’s electrical connector, you can have it back in top shape in no time.
