Greetings all, I have a wiring issue. I have found a broken conductor in my brake light system, which causes my right and high-mount brake lights not to function. If I give the wire a good wiggling and fanangaling, I can get all the brake lights to come on, but eventually they go out again after dri…

They make a tool that releases the terminals from the connector. However sometimes a paper clip or a scribe can be used to release the terminals. Here’s a link that describes how to remove terminals from connectors. http://99mpg.com/mima/pininstall/installation/05openingtheharness/ Tester

Thanks for the link tester. I have to get up close to my own connector again to make sure it is the same lock.

If that connector plugs into another connector with wires on it, some mechanics would just cut the wire on both sides of the connector and just bypass the connector. Wire is cheap after all.

I just looked at my connector up close again, and I can’t seem to figure out where I would insert that U shaped tool. There are no real holes or gaps on either side of the connector. Does that sound right? The linked instructions didn’t actually show where they were putting it in.

The tools aren’t expensive. You can get them on line or at Radio Shack.
