78 1000,any connector tricks?

[SVSooke]

Let me remove one of the terminals from my harness and see if I can match it up with what we have here (work) on the shelf. If so, I'll be needing your address again...

wait until we can see what's in mother Hubbard's cupboard...

mother Hubbard has quite a few different terminals in stock!

Jeez Dale you sure do like to help a guy.Where'd my 1000 project be without you,Chuck and Rob.Well without Rob there would be no project!.Shoot me a pm if you do find terminals.
Thank you

Greg, when you get right down to it, I think it's what we all are here for.

Greg, take a small flat bladed pocket screwdriver inserted from the terminal side and push the two 'ears' in towards the center line of the terminal, that will unlock the terminal so you can remove it from the connector. Like had suspected, a ball point pen refill slid over the terminal will allow the terminal to be released as well.

I'll take my harness to work with me tomorrow and see what mother Hubbard's cupboard has to offer. Take a count of the terminals you'll need to repair the damage, but don't get too carried away as I don't know how many terminals work can spare. Take stock on how many female terminals you may need while you're at it and I'll get back to you in the morning.

A good look at the wires turns up 5 wires that really need to be done.So if I can get 5 I should be good.Looking for the left pod from 1 of the 83 750's.IF I find one of those I will just use that connector.There should be some here but they are hiding real good *)&^ &^ !$$ %^ $#$$

Almost forgot,off for a ride tommorow but will be on when I get back.BTW I know we are here to help but some help more than others

Not the exact same size as the one I removed. These are 'slightly' smaller in diameter and I think these are also the correct female side terminals for the other connector. I'll check them against my signal switch when I get back home and make sure.

How was your little ride?

Those look fine to me.Still have to go on that ride,it's only 5:42and dark as I'm writing this.Got a couple of hours yet as a freind is meeting up with us.

[rustybronco]

When I asked, I hadn't expected you to be online until you returned from the ride.

The best looking rides are right at daybreak... kind of like when you're sitting out in the woods all by yourself and the sun is just starting to come up.

I have an internal "alarm clock" that goes off at 5am.Drives my wife crazy wondering why I can't sleep in.Got to do something while she sleeps

Did you mean this one?Only one I can find,looks like it should work though.Any opinons?

Should work just fine...but your wallet will be $23 lighter. First try what I suggested on one of the burnt terminals.

How do you think I took this connector apart?
