Commenting near 4 years after the fact, but I just wanted to say thank you so much. You are a Ford guru and the world is better for your excellent videos. I needed this exact video. Excellent. Thanks again!
Hell, don’t apologize I’m reading comments 5 years after. :-)
You’re right, thanks to FordTechMakuloco for the video. I couldn’t remember how I’d done this before.
Why was there a missing connector on the first pigtail will that piece need to be replaced with another connector?My map sensor pigtail is missing one also and a P2096 code appears so I am replacing the pigtail but want to be sure.
CZcams and guys like you are such a blessing. I don’t have to be ASE certified if I have ASE certified techs giving advice away for funsies like this.
6 years later and it helped me out. Thanks!
Fan-Ford-Tastic presentation! BZ Brian. Rarely has one man done so much for so many! Thanks again
Excellent video Brian. I had to work on the same connector that you showed at around the 3:30 mark. Was intimidated at first but once I got the retainer out I saw just how easy it was to work on. Thanks for sharing this info as it is sure to help many!
Thank you sir.
All the lighter sockets in my 2015 F-350 were wired always on. Wanted to set the console socket to ignition control, for a Dashcam. Your video was exactly what I needed.
Thought I was going to have to run a wire from the fuse box. Discovered Ford provided the option at the harness, but I needed to switch some pins. Not wanting to hack and splice.
Happy camper.
Great video Brian. Very useful! These connectors can sometimes be a mystery, even to mechanics!
Not a bad design. I like that they are re-buildable. Haven't personally had a problem with electrical connectors with our personal Fords. Great video. Thanks for taking the mysticism out of it for us.
In the past, I have struggled with a few of the Ford plugs. Not knowing what to do after the plug broke was especially frustrating. Your video was very informative and helpful. Thanks.
That cutaway was next level brilliant! Thanks for putting in the effort
A brilliant and well filmed video with a clear and easy to understand narrative that I learnt a lot from thank you very much!!!
That is one of the best videos, probably the best I've seen on connectors and pin removal! Very well done!
You deserve a slab of beer!!!!! Made my night, now I can work on my loom and remove stuff I don't need. Greetings from Australia!
Hi, just watched your video. The cut away connector you showed was brilliant. Well done and thank you.
Best Video I ever seen on Ford electrical connector to pull out wire.
Excellent presentation. Clear and precise. Thank you for the effort you put in to making the video.
You are AWESOME!!! I just did this on my f150 coil pack. FANTASTIC INFO!!
Timeless, hey it's 2021, and my 05 Mustang threw a P0193. My fuel pressure is at 68 to 70 psi. The duty cycle pumps are running at 100 %
I've tested everything from the Fuel Pressure sensor and it's in tolerance.
After 2 months of searching, including asking local Ford dealer to sell me info and asked on online expert who told me unless my car has a problem operating he didn't feel like he had to answer.
I scored the diagnostic tree. Itwo tests on I found the problem is a bad wire Pin 3 harness side.
You just gave me the.piece of the puzzle to finish. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks Brian. Very useful and so easy to understand. Really appreciate the various examples you showed. You make my life easier. Thanks.
Thank you! Awesome! I learn a lot watching this. Really appreciate your effort trying to explain clearly.
7 years later and still very helpful . I am working on my 2012 Mustang. Thanks
Very cool and informative video, The cutaway is great, thanks for putting in the effort to make this for us, exactly what i was looking for!
The last part after minute seven is maybe the best depinning video online because it breaks the connector open to reveal the inner workings that secure the tangs, and therefore how to release the tangs. Thanks
On the last blue/red/white connector, the "element" seal at the end is also serviceable. It can be removed, and it's internal seal replaced as well. On many connectors, you must remove this to completely remove the wire connector, as it's tolerance is for water/debris. Nice video.
Outstanding video. I have a fried fuse box on a truck I just bright and you have saved me a lot of heartache. Thank you so much.
Thank you, you saved me much frustration and a broken connector. 👍🏻
Searched up blower switch plug and this video popped up. I guess maybe because I am subscribed. My 2005 FX4 with 187k miles is living a good life because of you. It's mostly towing (boat) and dump trips these days. I work in auto care, but I'm a front of house person with mechanical work as my hobby
Also my cars never get in... You may know the dilemma of how the cobbler's children go barefoot!
Anyway, great video. I never stopped to figure out connector repair, and now I found a broken retainer on my blower motor plug when I removed my center stack cover to add bluetooth. Which is great BTW. Now I don't need another radio and subscription to listen to satellite, just runs through the phone.
You just gave me the connector solution, Love It!
Fabulous Video Brian. Thank you so much !
Thank you for this video. You just helped me not mangle a connector I was trying to repin for some aftermarket mirrors that had two wires reversed.
Awesome. You made it look easy. Surely you have mastered this. Confidently explained. Thanks.
Very hand vid, thanks mate. Well produced and informative.
Excellent video as the connector broke on the headlamp on my 2000 F-250.
Happy I found this vid!! 😃
Been looking for info on how to do this for YEARS!!!!!
I am viewing this in the 2020 Corona Virus lock down, but it is timeless, and a extremely helpful...
Thank you sir.
Thank you so much I fixed a lot of connectors on my 2003 ranger Thanks to your videos
Thanks Brian that was genius and thanks for your time
Very nice. Mechanically apt teacher with clear video and native, correct English.
Really Great Video! You weren't kidding that this was going to be an excellent and much needed video on the what why and how too on connectors. Seems the clips are almost always breaking off due to age, being removed and reinstalled numerous times, environment and especially due to heat in the engine bay on the plastics. Awesome Video !!
Absolutely brilliant video - thanks so much
Good clear instructions, I always thought that these connectors were sealed and one time use that could not be opened👌👍
This was awesome to watch, thank you!
Great information and excellent instructional video!
Brian, keep up the good work ...
Greetings from Mcallen, TX
I appreciate all your videos, I have a 04 mercury Mountaineer and I have solved a lot of problems thanks to you
Nice!
thanks very much - the most helpful video about this yet - loved the cut-away!
Thanks for the share. Your a amazing Ford tech. Your the best Ford tech I've ever seen. Keep them great videos online. Have a great week.
Very good. Thank you. Working on a Dodge Durango, but I think the process is similar. Will be helpful.
Thank you for all the information you provide, it is really useful❤
Great video! Very helpful!
That was very helpful. Great job on the video & explanation.
Fantastic, thank you for all👍
Thanks, great job explaining
Appreciate the information Brian, Thanks!
Awesome video Brian.
Thank you so much your videos are great and by far the best on youtube . so much knoledge on all of your vids that been so helpful thanx again
So informative! Really took the mystery out of those darn connectors I’m always wrestling with.
Awesome video. Really helped me out today. Thank you.
Best explanation... very informative....
Great instructions. I have a 2006 subie sti with a broken alternater plastic connection. Need to replace the green plastic body only. Now I know how to remove the 2 wires and instal, on the new connector. Muchas gracias
I know this is an older video, but car manufacture's now of days have a couple ones out there to be wary of. One in particular is a nasty bugger. For this particular type you have to take off a plastic retainer/cover(typically white) to expose the terminals, then you need to push in the soft rubber end(purple/pink) with a small screwdriver/mini Allen key. This pushes the connector forward where you now need to take either a needle nose pliers or tweezers and very gently grab the terminal, now rotate it 180*, then gently push up on it and slide out. I've only seen these on New Nissan's the pins are 1mm. I found only one extra at a pick'n'pull to figure it out so they are RARE, and you cannot find them online to replace.
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you.
I appreciate you.
Amazing video, Thank you
This was very helpful; much more so than others on YT.
Excellent teaching method especially cutting that connector in half. I hope you have a great December, my father and I are actually gonna take a short trip to Erwin Tennessee and stay at uncle Johnny's along the Appalachian trail. Very soon in fact. I love how I'm able to go on vacation and not spend a whole lot of money because those hostels are fairly inexpensive.
Very nice video! Very useful information. I've always wondered if I could build a harness from scratch.
Brilliant! Thanks.
Very well made video thank you
Thanks mate particularly for the last 2 minutes or so.
sweeeeeet! This just saved me a really awkward soldering job on a 2005 Mazda 3
This a great video! It was a huge help..
Thank you. Did't even finish the video and had my 7 pin trailer connector all took apart without breaking any of the tabs.
Thank you! That was a big help!
what an awesome video
I love you. Thank you from all of us here that are waiting on me to fix their vehicles. Although they cuss me out and talk shit about me. They really are grateful they just don’t know what they have till it’s gone. F Is for Famiky. 🤗
love it! the desert never fails to dry rot my plastics.
Brilliant video!
Thanks a ton! Saved me time and money.
Good Video but where do we get the new shell connectors?
Thanks for zooming in so we can see the details. Great video.
Perfect timing. Just ordered empty connectors to repin my coil pack connectors with broken tabs.
Been down that road. Ford pigtail for replacement $85. Plastic shell $5.49. The trick is finding the shell. Ford is no help in identifying the part or a source.
outstanding vid !!!
Super helpful! Thanks
Great video
At the very beginning of this video you showed a connector with three white wires going into a grey connector with a orange/red gasket. I wish you showed that connector disassembling. Excellent video.
Very informative. When you see a pair of working hands like yours, you can nearly always rest assured that person knows what he/she is talking about.
I've always wanted to know how to do this, thanks. Also, the screw drivers are available at some Dollar Tree locations for $1, I got my set there recently
Super video thanks!!!
No idea that was so simple...great video
EXCELLENT video! 👍
Super super very good explain thanku sir
Very interesting!!! Thanks!
oh man! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much :) I can easily repair my harness on my 1985 Mustang.
Nice helpful video! I have a giant mess of various Ford electrical connectors, relays, fuses, etc. I collect on trips to the salvage yard. Pays to scavenge a bit while you're there for something else I guess.
Superb guide! You might want to change the title though and make it more visible and easier to search. This is a general guide for all sorts of connectors. Helped me with my Mitsubisbi and toyota cars
very helpful ...
Great video. Unfortunately I damaged my new ignition coil connector trying to get the wires to release. Now I understand it.
Love the video . I would ask you go back and show the green harness plug on the upper left . 1971? I need to know how to change my resistance wire. Thanks again for the other tips
great video
