How to remove pins from a connector / Depinning Connector
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 07. 2024
- "How to remove pins from a connector" or "How to depin a connector" are really common questions I get from friends when they are wrenching on their cars. Year ago I discovered a really easy way to de-pin wires from connectors using a hair clip with some minor modifications, and I'm showing you exactly that in this video. This specific wiring connector is from a fuel injector, and I cut one in half so that you could see the cutaway version with the terminals, and have a better understanding of what is inside. Hopefully it helps you out with your automotive project!

CZcams is the best cheat code in history. I believe I am officially an ASE certified CZcams mechanic without question.
I’m happy to help you earn that prestigious certification! Thanks for watching!
I spent 6 hours trying to remove a pin from a Denso 2 pin connector. After watching numerous useless videos, I finally came across yours and I had the connector out in 30 seconds.
Thanks for the cutaway view and the effort you took to show us the inside latch clipping the connector in place.
That’s fantastic! I’m glad that it helped you out! Some connectors can be pretty tricky, even if you have the right tools to do them! Good luck on your project!
Same here...well 45min.....lol. guessing I got lucky?!! Haha
Over the past two days I've watched about 20 videos 20 times each about getting pins out of the wire connector going to my speed sensor. Countless hours wasted and countless unsavory words exchanged. After this video I got it out the first try you just saved me $45 dollars thank you so much.
🎉 That’s awesome! Congrats on your success. Come straight to me this next time, and save yourself the stress! 😂
This is by far the best instructional video I've ever seen. The inside view changed everything for me lol
Heck yes! I’m glad that it helped you out! Be sure to tell your friends to subscribe too! lol
Excellent 👍
You are an EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!!❤
Thank you! I’m glad you think so! Feel free to check out my other videos too if you like this one!
The cutaway view was super helpful. I won't be able to see it but I know what to feel for
Yes! I’m glad that you found it helpful. Thank you for watching!
Best explanation 👌......i froze watching all this videos and after this video i FINALLY GOT IT APART!!!!
Heck yes! Congrats!
@@WiringRescue my wifes hair thing worked great for removing the pins to solder the wires back on!!! Thanks for the tip!!!
Wow, that was super! You demystified the depinning process with basic tools. You're a lifesaver. Now i won't havee to destroy a pigtail.
Haha! That’s the goal! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
Great cut-a-way visual … thanks
Glad you liked it!
Another phenomenal video, appreciate the content
A picture is worth a thousand words , very nice !
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful, I had to de-pin the park-neutral safety switch connector on my honda after a rodent chewed thru the wires. Soldered new wires to pinned wires, plugged back in, started right up
Omg you just saved my day. Thanks!
Fantastic! Thank you.
Best video to learn how to remove connectors
Thanks! I’m glad that you found it helpful!
Very helpful video and very good idea.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
You should make a video to show others how to make instructional videos right to the point cant get any better than this THANKS
Haha! Thank you. I really appreciate it. If you like this maybe you would like my other wiring videos too? This is my personal favorite! czcams.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/video.html
Nice 👍
I've watched and rewatched your wiring a car videos. They are so amazing. How ever, only 1 video I watched had the dummy light, and none included those tiny dash lights in the gauge cluster or warning lights.
Any chance you could maybe do a video for these? I'm gonna rewire my whole car this month ( 1975 mopar ) and it would help me finish out the rest you haven't covered.
Keep the great videos coming.
Great video 👍
Thank you!
You rock man!
Thanks you rock too!
ThNK YOU

@Ratty Muscle Car any chance your in Florida? LoL
I got a project that I need help with. Due to recent surgeries, I'm limited on my ability to complete her.. 72 Camaro
Also, I'm converting oem head & tails to LED's...
Any info or suggestions of anything I may need to add on after I rewire entire car with modern Painless Wiring ATC style fuse block?
I got the kit with extra slots for add ons too
@@mobileautorepairs2169 - I am waaaay up here in Massachusetts where the weather is cold and the cars are rusty. Sadly that’s a bit too long of a commute for me to work on your car. ;)
@@mobileautorepairs2169 - you’ll want an LED flasher, but other than that, it should be all the normal wiring most likely. I’ve used the LED flashers from Amazon that are like $8, and they do the job. You just have to make sure they aren’t wired backwards. They only work one way. www.amazon.com/shop/rattymusclecar/list/3LN3FHYBGH
LIFE SAVER❤
Saving lives, 1 wire at a time! :D Thanks for watching!
Afternoon, is there a tell all diagram for connectors and pins or is it hand down from one person to the next.
Sadly I think it is different for every car maker, so this information is not in any single place. Maybe I’ll work on building out this information though.
Thank you
You're welcome
Hi, you have a lot of good videos for wiering 👍😀. I planing to wiering my old Datsun and will follow yours. But have you this in paper? When I finish look a video I already forgot what you have done 🙄😁😁
Hey, I've been watching some of your videos. I recently installed LEDs on my bike, and got an LED relay for them. It works, but if I don't take out the blinker pilot light, all four signals start blinking no matter which direction I push the switch. Could you make a video explaining why that is?
That’s because the blinker light on the handlebars is connected to both the L and the R directionals. So when either side is turned on, it passes the power from one side to the other. Normally the switches in steering columns of cars manage that, but if you’re doing something custom, you may need some diodes to make it work. Honestly, I’ve never tried though. So I’m not entirely sure.
Do you have a video on using led bulbs? I'm having an issue using the led bulbs seem to feed power back
I do have a variety of videos about LED lights. Check out this playlist, toward the bottom czcams.com/play/PLsF7T1tRFy2hmiiUUfMZNyV-BUA_yrPIh.html
Thanks for such a detailed video. Use your method, I take out the pin without wires.👍
👍😎👍
Can you show how to de pin a motorbike CDI/ control module
Unfortunately I don’t have one available to make a video on, so I’m probably not much help for you. Sorry about that.
"Hair Clip"? . . . Bobby Pin . . . and I believe the Brits call it a kirby grip.
I’m a bald guy, so I dunno what the heck it’s called. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Robert pin…. Bobby pins are for girls. Girls don’t de-pin connectors.
Make a video how to wire up ford door lock
What happens if you break the clip🤦♂️ inside do you have a part number for that clip 🫣
I sure don’t, but wirecare is known to be a reputable company that probably has them. Here is a link www.wirecare.com/
I don't see it on there ☹️

Thank you, but this is just one style of connector. There are 199 other styles of connectors
