Terminator old hand Registered: 12/01/2000 Posts: 1079 Loc: Dallas, TX	Thanks for the help brian. This wiring loom was the warranty replacement for the original one, and the exact same two wires have pulled out again. I contacted empeg support, and they suggest that I order another $130 sled. Instead of spending the money just to have wires pull out again, I thought I would get the fixed and back in place. Now to my next question - how do I get the pins backed out of the connector? Thx, Sean

Derek addict Registered: 16/08/1999 Posts: 453 Loc: NRW, Germany	If you slip a really thin screwdriver under the pin from the connector side (not the wire side) there is a small tab at the back you need to lift up. The pin then slides out the wire side of the connector. Should all come out really easily. If you need any force you are doing it wrong. (list 6284, Mk1 S/N 00299 4GB blue [for sale].
