MOLEY MOLEY MOLEX plug!!

Post by attack chicken »

Well, the molex plug has me in a bad way. I got my bug running today on the EDIS, but the molex plug pretty much just fell apart. Is there a special way to crimp the wires to the metal connector pieces? Is there a special tool? I have a few that have pulled out of the connector. I thought I had them crimped good enough, but I guess not :roll: ! Anyone have any ideas? Prolly a stupid problem but it's the one that has me in a sling.
Thanks.
Rick.

ideally you need to use the correct Molex crimp tool... not cheap, but the ONLY way to guarantee a good crimp. I did mine at work.
