Wire repair in amplifier connector.

[aspkiller]

I have a broken wire at the connector to one of the amps. Before I break it, does anyone know how to remove one of the pins. Connector is p/n 017 545 25 28. Thanks

Need more information to help. Any way you could take a picture of the connector?

You probably just need a pin extractor tool?
You know to remove the pin from the connector so you can reconnect it and insert.
I used to work on medical equipment with similar connectors and we carried a pin extractor tool for just such an occasion.
I can't say this is exactly what you need, but something like it. Maybe one of our resident gurus has a more definitive answer...

Okay so it’s pretty simple to remove the pins from the connector and if you have a solder iron the wires are soldered into the terminal so it’s possible to remove the terminal heat the terminal to melt the solder and quickly shake it to spill the contents. Strip the insulation from the broken wire about 1/4” insert and resolder. The slide lock just pops out to the track exposing the terminal latches. Just be careful as they have become quite brittle. Insert a jeweler screwdriver from the wire end and carefully displace the latch. Because the wire has broken you might need to use another jeweler screwdriver and insert in the terminal you need to remove and gently push it out.
If you don’t have a solder pencil or gun I can send you a wire and terminal with a crimp terminal on the end so you can just replace the bad terminal. Just let me know what wire color you need.

Wow-Great write up - Thank You!

If it helps, I think I still have that portion of the stereo harness with the amplifier connectors.

I'll check tomorrow, and if I do, I'll cut them off with as much pigtail wire as possible.

I'll post them in the "Parts for Sale" for free.

I have this pigtail available. I will box it up and label it. It will be in my stash if anyone needs it.





One connector could use a clean and some Deoxit. Other is corrosion free.
