RW1 0 Posted October 1, 2005 What's the technique for removing an awkward connector on the back of the fuse/replay panel. It's one in the middle of the top row. Can get the clip end partly out and past it's stops, the other slot guide end doesn't want to budge so the plug just tilts in the socket. I know they are barstewards at the best of times but this one has got the better of me. Its a 12 way connection plug. There are no heavy duty connector pins at the stuck end, just lightweight ones. Tried WD40, no use. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 2, 2005 Have you released the lock on the left hand side of the panel?? = have a look and you'll see what I mean! It should just unclip and pull out then... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted October 2, 2005 Cheers Supercharged. I've already got the lock lever end free. It's the other end that proving extremely stubborn and not budging at all. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 2, 2005 Not sure I understand? - you've got it out of the back of the fuse box then?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 2, 2005 RW1 - Just re-read your post and I don't think my first one was that clear... There is a lock that slides to the left side of the fuse box that releases the all the loom plugs at the back, have you done this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks, Just spotted the lock you are refering to. I thought you were referring to the connectors lock tab. Cheers It's out now. One fried headlight loom to repair and fit an in-line fuse modification to prevent this happening again with those darn UK dim-dip headlight switches! .

Supercharged 2 Posted October 2, 2005 Yes sorry - I was rather drunk when I posted the first one!!! - I'm suprised it was as clear as it is!!! One fried headlight loom to repair and fit an in-line fuse modification to prevent this happening again with those darn UK dim-dip headlight switches! Hmmm.. I've got one of those too! - I'm down in London at the moment so can't check my switch but i'll let you know later in the week... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted October 2, 2005 It was clear, I wasn't reading this morning as the C/H boiler departed on Friday night and by this morning my brain was frozen. Now struggling with the pin removal from the plugs. Have the VW wire repair kit box and it say use this tool and push back. Simple - yeah, fingers are num 5 hours later. The first pin did it as instructed inside 30 seconds. The rest......... . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
