Disconnecting Ford Ignition Coil Connectors Without Breaking Them
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Ford uses a positive locking connector on their coil packs, and just looking at them it's not obvious how to disconnect them. In this quick video, I'll show you how to disconnect it without breaking it using just a small tool like a pick or screwdriver.
Thank you so much for making this video! I wonder if people not knowing this procedure is why so many people seem to break their clips...
Thanks, changing a coil pack on my 2012 f250. Never seen this type of connector.
Thank you for sharing this. I wish I seen this a couple hours ago. I broke one of these today
.
How do you replace the plugs that you’ve broken… I have two 😬
Buy new connectors and splice them in, unfortunately

Thank you for this video. Man, for such a simple thing it sure wasn't easy to figure out. I had already tried what it said in this video prior to finding this video and it didn't work. But after I watched this, it all made sense and I went back out and tried it again and it worked like a charm this time. lol, this is my first late model as everything else I have is from the 60's - 70's. Those darn connectors had me stumped. smh
This was designed to break.
Well...crap... wish I'd seen this before I broke 4 of the red tabs doing a tune up earlier this year. Even though I saw your video too late, I appreciate the advice for future repairs.
Same right here i broke 2 and snapped a bolt from the intake manifold in the rear 😅
@@OscarHernandez-du3ve OH NOOO... bum deal on a snapped bolt, hopefully you were able to get it repaired?
Did it cause any issues?
Those ignition connectors are so fragile. I broke two of them just trying to replacing the ignition coils. Thank you for your video.
Did you have to replace them? I broke 2 of mine on my mustang 😂 I've been driving around okay though...so far 😬
I broke mine right away being gentle. The cheap Korean plastic piece just was so old & and brittle, ready to snap...😂😂
Kia Forte.. so 3 other coil connectors I just wiggle slightly came off.. pulled straight out easy..
@@dom_mob2668I broke all 8 lol, you did good
Looks just like my 2013 Ford F150 5.0 coil packs. They are really on there after 300,000 miles. I changed the spark plugs at 160,000 about five years ago. This time I’m changing coil packs as well as spark plugs. This video has helped thanks 😊 and best wishes
Thanks so much for this tip! Just saved me some time and frustration. I was going to do a video of the anterior driver side removal of the clip that obstructs the removal of that sparkplug, but I don't know the that part on the valve cover is that sits under the foam cover. The clip is on the underside of it if that makes sense for anyone battling with this. Thanks again!
Man I’m doing a water pump on a 2017 explorer and this saved me so much frustration thank you!
I broke mine so you didn't have to. 🤣
Thanks, this is just what I needed...I have a Kia Forte, same concept, your video was the only one that showed just what I needed, thanks again!
The most challenging part of this job perfectly explained. It is def NOT an intuitive thing (at least it wasn't for me). Thank You!!!
Thank you !....the MAF connector is similar but upside down. You saved my day !
Sir you are a lifesaver
Thanks! I never can tell if clips are push in, or pull up. This helped alot
A small but important tip..thank you sr.👍👍👍
Thank you
I just fumble fucked my way through very similar style on 2017 GMC terrain. Came to YT to see any tricks or tips
Thanks
It worked... Tnx
Thank you!
Mine all broke pushing them back in
Is there somewhere to buy just the red connector tabs? I already broke a few on my L86
Not that I know of or that I can find with a quick search, unfortunately.
These connector too fragile. I broke 6 trying to change spark plug.
Pretty sad when the hardest part of doing a tune up is removing a tap on an electrical plug. Thanks Ford for well thought out design 🙄
You must have learned the correct way yourself after you broke the one beside of it, lol
That's exactly what happened, and why I created the video! 😂
😄Happens to the best of us, thanks for the video@@YoshimoshiGarage
it looks like it broke
Broke 3
Simple things like this make a simple job the worst ever… … however I wish I would’ve ran across this video on the first two connectors.. 😂😂🎉🎉❤
