Tips on how to disconnect and service electrical connections on motorcycle, auto and farm equipment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Let’s review the process of disconnecting “most” electrical connectors. How about we use the procedure outlined in most service manuals:
1. Release lock tab
2. Firmly grab each not of connector housing and pull apart

Yep that’s it, ask yourself this question:
Why then do technicians find it so hard to handle this task WITHOUT causing damage or hurting the integrity of the wiring?
My answer:
There are “assumed” steps missing from the procedure.
1. One simply step that is over looked when dealing with electrical connectors is cleaning them first. If debris is lodged behind the release or lock tab, there is no room for it to move out the way. Breakage is the next result you will see.
2. A technician does not actually know how the lock tab functions and just starts prying or bending.
My solution:
1. Read the service manual, looking for instruction that may give you a clue. Example: “push” or “pull” (I have yet to find one that says pry with pocket knife)
2. Always clean the connection BEFORE attempting anything (don’t be afraid to lube too)
3. Get good lighting so you can actually see what you’re working with
4. Get a magnifying glass or better yet take a picture on your smartphone and blow it up
5. If possible locate a new connector from the parts department and practice on.
6. Once you can SEE the locking tab, lightly ATTEMPT movement. Once confident follow the two steps from above to ACTUALLY disconnect the connector.
My thoughts are the same as always. You need a plan AHEAD of time to best use service manuals. Any longtime technician will tell you, planning, organization, and thinking before breaking are lessons learned over time.
My goal as you know is to shorten this time frame up dramatically. Join me in my EVERY MECHANIC SHOULD KNOW THIS SERIES. Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed.
Watch the video for removal, cleaning and connection procedures demonstrated on a connector commonly found on motorcycle, auto, truck and farm equipment.

Thanks dude, these connectors have always baffled me…the very first one you showed was just like the one I’m working on…let me go see how well I’ve learned what you’re teaching…
Update: Well, apparently you’re a good teacher or I’m a good “learner”, or both, because I just went out there and blasted it with some electrical cleaner and it came right apart. Kudos to you.

Sometimes I work on really old cars 90s and 80s. So I like to spray a pb blaster after blasting air; cus they'll be super stuck. I'll wait a few minutes then they usually slip like butter. and I'll finish it with some dielectric grease after airing out the pb blaster.
Great! Thumbs up

I find myself saying "perfect your craft" as I work in my shop now.
Nice Bruce! Thanks for sharing and tuning in! Spread the word please!
Oh I have
If doing this on a car, say on the oxygen or engine temperature control sensors, would it be necessary to disconnect the battery before spraying liquid? Or is there no risk of electrical shorting in these cases? Cheers
I'm a big fan of always disconnecting the battery when working on electrical connectors for cleaning/maintenance.

I learned the bad way, because it wasn't visible, pried the coolant tank connector and broke it. Then realized it was a push lever

The guy who owned the bike before me broke the clips on most of the electricals and I can’t pull them out because they still have the clip to hold them in but not the tap to press them down and pull it out
Dielectric grease is an insulator not a conductor so you don’t want it inside all the connections

Your video does not fit the title at all, you only show one connector and that for the whole video. There are hundreds of connectors out there and I was expecting to see a couple at least.
amen. seems many part replacement vidio skip important parts
True, I have a number of different connectors.
Ok What if cleaning it dose not work?
