Decided that I was bored tonight, kid and wife gone, so I decided to finally take my front turn sigs off and flip the mirrors to the underside of the bars.

Everything was going fine. I removed the grommet under the neck, pulled the wires out, cut the male ends, and pulled the wires out through the bar. Except I accidentally cut the female black connector that leads back to the wiring under the seat.

does anyone know what connector this is? and how to get the wires out? It is the female black connector that took the right side front turn signal wires male connector.

 

I guess since you were drunk when you cut the wires you didn't think about just pulling the plugs out of the neck and taking the wires out of the plugs and pulling them through the loom then plugging the plug back in and stuffing it in the neck.

Alcohol and a pair of wire cutters......

Buy a service manual.

 

Looks to me like you cut "neutral, run, sig" to the front turn signals. If you don't want front signals your fine.

Stop drinking and wrenching, it makes you do stupid ****.

 

Hey man...what I notice is you cut the connectors off WAY too close. How are you going to splice them back together? You didn't leave yourself enough wire.

Looks like you're going to get you a couple of the pins and rebuild the connectors. So, in the end you're going to have to remove the pins (anyway) from the connectors (which you should have done in the first place), crimp new pins on the end of the wires, and reinstall them into the connectors.

To quote one of my favorite movies (Creepshow) "Jordy Verrel, you nunkhead".

 

You need a service manual's wiring diagram. But if you can see the wire the black jumper went to you might be able to pull it out with a needle nose or tweezers get enough wire stripped out to solder a jumper or use an inline connection and crimp it. If you do the solder and have space cut a piece of heat shrink, tape a long piece of dental floss to it slide it down the wire you going to solder together far enough that the soldering does cause it to shrink. Then you can use the dental floss to pull the heat shrink back up over your repair and shrink it with very hot hair dryer or lighter if you can do that without causing damage. You can use the soldering iron but have to be careful not to burn through it.

Your picture is not so good but if you cut the wires that short then you have do what SC longhair suggests.

Always plan one of these jobs through before you start and better yet do the thread and ask questions before you start.

+1 on the service manual. $40- 50 bucks on line, get the HD one not the Clymers. It is worth every dime and you will save its cost in labor and time wasted with your first use of it.

I learned this all the hard way so not going to bust your stones. But if you are a klutz and have not done a lot of this stuff, go ahead and pay an Indy before you make it worse. (been there done that in my early days)

 

 

yeah, it makes sense now. i should have disassembled the connectors. i see that i will have to rebuild the larger connector leading back to the wires underneath the seat.

off to the hardware store. and the manual is on order.

thanks guys.

 

Off topic but wasn't Jordy Verrel (played by none other than stephen king) the guy who thought he would become rich after almost being hit by a meteor which split open and he thought he would get rich selling it to science? Then he turned into a plant!!!!

 

Daniel - been there and done that. On my 68 Bonnie restore project Ive damaged plenty of things not knowing what I was doing and cost me plenty to get it fixed and then done right. This is what keeps the dealerships in business!

P.S. I thought you didnt drink?

 

Absolutely.

My other fav in that movie was the one about the nastiness in the box and how the wimpy husband got his nasty b!tch of a wife to go in and get eaten. "Go ahead Bobbi. She's right in there. Keep going. She's in the back of the box." Classic.
