How to add a Connector - tucpal - 11:th-Jan-2015 This How to Covers How to Wire a Male and Female auto Connector This is Really the Best way to join wires or Add an Accessory that can be Unplugged Easily if Required In this Case i am Adding Connectors to my Load Resisters for my LED DRL,S as this will make Taking the Headlights out much Easier this will Help with Most Lighting Retro Fits etc. You can Always Twist the Wires Solder and Shrink Wrap the Wires if you want a Permanent Connection But if you need to Disconnect and Reconnect Something Quickly and Easily then Connectors are Quick and easy to Take apart and the Best Option. These are the Connectors i am using they are Cheep and very Good Quality for the Price i Payed £3.00 for 10, 2 Pin Connectors. You can Get 2 pin, 3 Pin, 4 and 5 Pin, etc Versions. I will be Using a 2 pin Connector today. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Kits-2-Pin-Way-Auto-Waterproof-Electrical-Wire-Connector-Plug-Terminals-/291272213031?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43d12d4227 This is what you Get in each Pack. First Thing to do is put the Yellow O ring on the Male Connector. Then put the Red Tab into the Female Connector Pushing it Down till it Clips in. Then take the Four Wires and Push on the Yellow Plugs cut the Cables so about 3mm of Wire shows and add the Pins and Crimp them Down one Crimp for the Wire and the other Crimp for the Cable a Dab of Solder on the Crimps will Hold them alot Better one Side has the Male Pins and the other Side has Female Pins. Take the Male Connector side and Add the Female Pins inside just Push them in till you get them to the End and then Add the Red Locking Tab to lock them in Place. Then Take the Male Pins and Push them into the Female Connector side till you here a Click and feel they are Locked in Place. also do a Push pull Test on the Cables on Both ends to check they are Locked in Securely and make sure Both Wires are the Correct Color on Both sides and Correspond Red, Black, etc Slide and Push the Yellow Plugs into the holes on Both sides of the Connectors. And that is it Plug the Connectors together and then Pull them apart to Check the fit is Correct over Check them Connect them back Together and Test that they Work job Done. So next Time you Need to take it Apart for any Reason it will be alot Easier now, So Hope this Helps. How to add a Connector - Lewis6317 - 11:th-Jan-2015 good tut mate How to add a Connector - Rusty2009 - 11:th-Jan-2015 I have used these found them real cheap but there isn't much else about unless you buy in very high quantity. Also mate the yellow waterproof seals should be crimped up at the end of terminal with the wire. Also should fit sung around the wire. The way you've done it could allow water in, so keep an eye on it mate. But nice one mate.
