Easy Way to Disconnect Wire Harness Connectors

Wire harness connectors have hierarchical interconnections and networks. Disconnecting can seem difficult since they have exposed wires and irrelevant wires. But, as compared to its connection—disconnecting it easy.

However, people often resist disconnecting wire harness connectors. Wire harness connectors have exposed wires and irrelevant wires. But, as compared to its connection—disconnecting it easy.

For managing DIY tasks for your motorcycle or car, you’ll come across multiple wire harness connectors.

So, you cannot manage the optimization of your vehicle without understanding the connection procedure of these harness connectors.

Let’s see two ways of how you can disconnect the wire harness.

Each harness connectors has a buckle-lock. This lock can connect and disconnect the connection. But one thing to note here is that the wire harness connectors used for each type of equipment in the car is slightly different.

Although they operate on the same principle but you’ll see a difference in the shape in each of these connectors.

Three is a small pin like structure on the harness connector.  Its size and color depends on the exact connector that you have in hand. Press it a little and apply horizontal force to disconnect the buckle from its holder and you’ll have it done.

In a few cases, the direction of force that you have to apply for disconnecting might differ. But the procedure is more or less the same.

Following the steps below you’ll see another way of disconnecting wire harness connectors

Step 1:

Take a pin extractor and insert it inside the connection. However, make sure that you are inserting the pin extractor over the pin that requires extractions. 

Step 2: 

Push the plunger down with gentle effort, and depress the barbs holding the pin in place. Now, grab the wire and try to pull it at the back of the pin. Pull the wire and the pin together. 

Step 3:

With the help of a wire cutter, cut the wire and remove it from the connector. But, leave some part of the wire; so it is easier to create a splice while reconnecting the wire again. 

There are times when you are clueless about wire harness connectors and their connections; as there are thousands of connectors. But, if you have knowledge and information about connectors; you can connect and reconnect just by focusing on the main connection areas.
