connectors are embossed with the initials P.E.D.
Separating Pin and Socket Housings
If necessary, remove connector from barbed anchor or other
retaining device.
Bend back the external latch slightly and separate pin and
socket halves of the connector.
Mating Pin and Socket Housings
Orient the latch to the catch and push the pin and socket halves
of the connector together until the latch "clicks".
If removed, install connector on barbed anchor or other OE
retaining device.
Removing Socket Terminal
1. Bend back the latch slightly and free one side of the sec-
ondary lock. Repeat the step to unlatch the other side.
2. Rotate the secondary lock outward on hinge to view the

engages a rib in the chamber wall to lock the terminal in
place.
3. Moving to the mating end of the connector, take note of
the small opening on the chamber wall side of each ter-
minal.
4. Insert SNAP-ON PICK (Part No. TT600-3) into opening
until it stops. Pivot the end of the pick toward the terminal
to depress the locking tang.
5. Remove the pick and gently tug on the wire to pull the
terminal from the wire end of the connector. Repeat steps
if the terminal is still locked in place.
6. If necessary, crimp new terminals on wires. Refer to

Installing Socket Terminal
Refer to the wiring diagrams to match wire lead colors to alpha
characters molded into the secondary locks of each connector
housing.
1. Using a thin flat blade, like that of a hobby knife, carefully
bend the tang outward away from the terminal body.
2. With the tang facing the chamber wall, push the lead into
the chamber at the wire end of the connector. A click is
heard when the terminal is properly seated.
3. Gently tug on the wire end to verify that the terminal is
locked in place and will not back out of the chamber.
4. Rotate the hinged secondary lock inward until tabs fully
engage latches on both sides of connector.
