Default Burly Help

Can anyone help me connect these wires? I can't seem to figure out how the wires connect. Do you have to force them? Seems like they should snap together but I don't want to force them and break something. Can anyone help?

You should just be able to slide them in its going to be tight because there made so you dont have to crymp them. It will take some effort after that if you want to make sure they will never come loose grab a pair of pliers and crymp the **** of them.

They don't even act like they want to connect. How in the hell do these connect? I've tried forcing them and everything. Nothing is working!!!

It could be a bad connector on the end or maybe one of the ends was closed a slight bit? Best bet is to go to autozone get a box of the connectors and snip those off and put new ones on.

You have to pop off the back of the connector, I used my olz sewing screw driver, sum use a papper clip but it didn't work for me. Ie there are these little tabs that that hold the connectors in and you have to unclip them basically using a tiny tool. Good luck I hope I made alittle ground for yah. I had the same problem and had to figure it out on my own.

It's not the plugs I'm having a problem with, it's splicing the wires together. The wires they give you look like they should connect very easily to the wire when you pull it out from the plug. It doesn't though. It's really pissing me off! Wire to wire, not wire to plug....

I'm gonna do as 92oldskool suggested and snip the connectors off and put my own connectors on. There is no way to splice the wires together with the wire kit that Burly gives you. They should say to buy your own splices. The wires go into the plugs no problem but the wires don't splice with their connectors. Everything else in the kit is ****. Those wires pissed me off so bad......okay, I'm done. Thanks for letting me vent!

Was your kit in a burly box?
I had no problems with mine at all, or I was lucky.
