Removing, installing, and drying connectors
and wiring harnesses
1) Disconnecting connectors
1] Hold the connectors when disconnecting.
When disconnecting the connectors, hold
the connectors. For connectors held by a
screw, loosen the screw fully, then hold
the male and female connectors in each
hand and pull apart. For connectors
which have a lock stopper, press down
the stopper with your thumb and pull the
connectors apart.
a
Never pull with one hand.
2] When removing from clips
q
Both of the connector and clip have
stoppers, which are engaged with
each other when the connector is in-
stalled.
q
When removing a connector from a
clip, pull the connector in a parallel di-
rection to the clip for removing stop-
pers.
a
If the connector is pried up and down
or to the left or right, the housing may
break.
3] Action to take after removing connectors
After removing a connector, cover it with
a vinyl bag to prevent the entry of dust,
dirt, oil, or water to the contact portion.
a
If the machine is left disassembled for
a long time, it is particularly easy for
improper contact to occur, so always
cover the connector.
