“This is not the page your looking for. Move on” thanks for trolling haltech, guess I’ll get the tools else where
One of the most basic questions about the gm style pull to seat connector is "which way is up" - what is the correct orientation of the pin vs the connector body when you pull it in to seat? I can kinda sorta barely see that in the video, but would be good to be explicit about it.
I'm not an electrician, but I am a hobbyist at many mechanical pursuits and a bit of a perfectionist at some of them. For whatever reason, rebuilding wiring harnesses on old equipment is one of those jobs I look forward to and I love to make the new wiring harness as bulletproof as possible. Using todays modern crimping tools to bring old equipment back to life in a condition better than factory was capable of is both cathartic and satisfying. Great video btw.
I was looking for such a professional video, where one more cable is attached to the existing wire,
but this is very good video anyway.
Thanks!
Just after watching like 3 videos on wiring harnesses, im already encouraged to do it myself. thanx for the tips.
THATS THE SPIRIT JONNY BOY!!!
I know what my next automotive purchase will be. Nice work.
Great video! I think its important to note that crimping around the exposed copper wire first is key. I've noticed in the past that if you crimp around the sheathing first you end up with a slight bend in the terminal.
Michael Gauthier Great tip! Thanks Michael:)
This instruction was very helpful and explained how to crimp the pins. My big concern is trying to rewire the engine compartment have a vintage 1974 Porsche 911 the big task of finding the right color-coded wire and the proper pins to fit all of the connectors that are original to the engine compartment wiring harness.
Just got my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT running on Speed Density with stock ECU.. But man, I'm really looking at a haltech right now. I've flashed the subi one over 100 times while working through all the different tunes with injectors, custom mafs, and now speed density. I could really use the live tuning of a Haltech right about now.
Great guys , I have started crimping recently on my looms and find it satisfying to learn this part of home mechanics.
One thing I cant find out though is what pin type my Haltech E6x uses for ECU . I need to make my own loom starting from the ECU itself .
I have the head and short loom from previous car.
Great quality instruction.....
Helpful video as always 👍
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Very informative.
Very good explain thanku sir
Thanks Scott
Great video
Any advice on the best method of getting two wires into a single terminal connector? Or is it best to just splice further up the wire... Thanks
Hi, can you recommend a ratcheting crimper for doing very small open barrell wire crimps(22-28awg). I want one that gets everything done in one swipe and clean. The tools I have seem to take two swipes to get one done and in some cases it bends or mangles the crimp.Thanks for any recommendations!
hi! can you give instructions or make a video about how to crimp a 1.5mm din 42802 universal female connector for eeg cup electrodes? thank you!
I have removed a couple of unused wires from the ecu plugs but can't determine the pin type yet, still searching. Also, on the 26 pin plug I pushed the white tab in easily with my finger nail to let the wires pull out. Now I can't push it back in, it worked fine on the 34 pin connector. :/
What is the style of femal pin for the ecu? If they are readily available in the US, I'd rather grab some here than order all the way from Australia. I need to uprate the ground wire input to the sport 1000, it is only 18 or 20 gauge. I also need to add a few other wires for the alcohol sensor, etc. Thanks for any help, and the video was very helpful as well.
Just curious why is it when it came to the AMP pin, it’s the only one you didn’t show being inserted into the connector?
😲 I know you! 😄
MCM never said you had your own channel.
Brilliant video, cheers Scott.
Yes! Scott works at Haltech, so he is a regular here on the Haltech channel, when he's not helping out the MCM boys. :)
Thanku sir very good explain
Is it a good practice to solder with some good quality silver solder after crimping and before seating the pin?
What about the pins used in the IO expander box? These are a nightmare (most likely because I don't know the correct way to do it)....
I depinned the connector. Question is, the metal pin is 21mm long and has a opening on one side. Everything I saw on amazon is roughly 11-15mm long and not all have the opening. How do i source the correct metal pin?
After crimped the connector, should better do soldering for secure avoiding wire loosen? Or unnecessary to do so? Please advise…
I am in the marine industry and have a vehicle project coming up for a client. Where is a good source for non-tinned wire as shown here? Thanks
Is a Molex Crimper the same as an Open Barrel Crimper?
cool current connections
Interesting.
Thanks
CaN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO IDENTIFY a 1999 Honda CRV door harness pins used in the connector from the drivers door to the car harness. I went to my honda dealer and he says they have to rob pins from old harnesses they have saved.
Can someone Please tell me where to order the oem style wires? Please!
Why was a little bit of copper left exposed when crimping the deutsch connector?
whats the diff between the red and blue crimpers?
Do you guys sell the pins for Delphi connectors for 1998 Mustang GT Ford fuel sending unit. FGO835. If not where could I order them?
Thank you.

Oye se puede dar tutoriales en español gracias
Really good intentions guys and thanks for the effort but no close ups what so ever may as well have blurred it with just audio .
I crimp hours a day and my right hand is killing me. What is a good glove for crimping?
How with size 0.08 - 2,5 ?
Crimpin' ain't easy. *mic drop*
Good vid by the way
Crimpin' ain't easy, but somebody's gotta do it.
Can't see what is where at the crimp point
Hello
I want aske you about the crime terminal tools what's the brand and it's have duty
Because I want Sam it .
Thinks for your help
Check them out on our website here: www.haltech.com/tech-tip-how-to-crimp-like-a-pro/
one for bmw?
I came here from the Mighty Boosh and this was not what I expected..
Hi! What guage of wire you use on Coil connector? Thanks
Depends on the type of coil you are using.
Absolutely #1. Use acrimping tool designed for the type and size of lug you are crimping!
Cool
is it possible for you to list the tools used in this video
Yes, same here. I'd like to know. That's why I watched this video!
www.haltech.com/tech-tip-how-to-crimp-like-a-pro/
It would have helped if you showed how the pin(s) were ‘laid’ into the crimper.
good afternoon what is the blue pliers PN?

where can i get the red handle ones from?
We sell them in a kit: www.haltech.com/tech-tip-how-to-crimp-like-a-pro/
Have you ever heard of Google?
Haltech are these tools universal? Will they work in hondas Nissan and Mitsubishis??
how much does the tools set cost?
+tinko mollov Here is an article on our website with links to the tool set on our online store.
Be nice if we could get a close up of what your doing
There are close ups throughout the whole video. If you're watching your phone or a tablet we'd recommend watching it on a desktop computer you'll be able to see more detail.
+Haltech Need Close UPS! not just someone working. Get a camera with Macro and use it
What crimping tool are you using???
Hes using their way overpriced crimp tool set. Its like $189 for 2 crimpers you can get for $20 each.
Do you sell the crimp set?
Yes we do: www.haltech.com/tech-tip-how-to-crimp-like-a-pro/
When you as a company charge exorbitant prices for standard products that are made/provided/supported by other vendors you loose credibility in my eyes.
The connectors and crimpers and same with the serial to 3.5mm jack for the racepack.
Just disclose who your vendors are let people buy on Amazon.
How do we unlock those gm connectors
We have a video on that coming up shortly:)
@@haltech hey man, do you happen to know what type is used on a mitsubishi evo x? Do you have a plug and play ecu for evo x for that matter?
You now I needed only one piece
You skipped the very important step after crimping the AMP connector. I wasted almost an entire pack of pins when i figured that the connector has a white lock that I needed to push before it would insert all the way. You never showed that part.
i like to solder them and insulate them as much as possible from the elements, i think we've all seen 20-30yo copper thats been exposed and looks terrible
from what I understand from Turbo yoda and others is that soldering causes wires to break eventually because of movement of the wires. Wire fatigue eventually sets in and the wire breaks. I used to think soldering would last longer.
You won't find solder on an aeroplane.
some close-ups would have been nice
crimp my ride yo!
CRIMPIN AINT EASY
lol Joseph Edwards
Which WAY!!!!!!! is the crimp supposed to go into the crimpers? I watch a bunch of videos and no one seems to think it is IMPORTANT to mention the most important aspect of crimping. I'm guessing that the split side goes to the hump,but it would be nice if anyone could clarify that. The reason people have trouble crimping is because no one on CZcams seems to know how to explain the PROPER way to crimp. It is not rocket science,but isn't obvious either,so why can't an expert just assume that it isn't obvious and explain the procedure in detail?
You are 100% correct - Split to the hump.
Here's a pretty good vid showing it: czcams.com/video/kNQw04VbnxE/video.html
Thanks,sorry for the rant XD.
I been told buy TE crimpers for the amp ecu header pins. My whole life is a lie.
I just use The Wirecutter part of my needle nose pliers to crimp
i once wired half my gf's car with buttconnectors thinking i was smart not to solder....
if only i knew then how dumb i was :)
PS: being from europe i mostly see the "diafram" or hexagonal crimps^^ the gm connector style thing ONLY in my gf's opel haha
Was it inside of the car or outside. She is not your gf anymore I guess;)
Gregory May inside ghehe when she bought the car half the electrics on the inside were not working due to cables that had been munched and cut... i didn't make it worse! it didn't burn down... we're still happy together xD
Why not a ratcheting crimper? Wouldn't that be more Pro?
camera is too far.
Heltec endorses crimping??? Solder ftw
SideKickNz When done correctly crimping is a more effective method. Not to mention quicker and easier. However if you are proficient at soldering then stick with that:)
Yeah just when you get a specific way of doing something drumed into you its hard not to have a byest opinion (My boss would kill me if he saw me crimp anything)
SideKickNz no offence to your boss, but that's a bad attitude, solder creates resistance, crimping creates less and provides a better connection.
however in some situations and industries, solder is a must.
right tool for the right job.
+SideKickNz Solder is great and actually decreases resistance, despite what was said. There are the areas of the pin that already touch the wire strands and then the areas that are bridged from the strands to touch the pin by the solder. It is great to do if you can avoid melting the wire insulation and sending to much solder into the pin for it to latch correctly. Crimping pins to wire is great as long as you use the proper tool, oem pins on Subaru for example, are crimped very well and provide low resistance. Now if you are connecting wire to wire, solder is hands down the best way, unless you suck at soldering.
as a electrician with 20 years experience, i could say every wire break i find is at the solder joint on plugs. brittle wire ,plus vibration gets them every time.
Ugh I thought this was for the Mighty Boosh fans...
Iiiiiiooo
At our shop, if you crimp without soldering, *YOUR FIRED* ....
