Crimping new pins on turn signal wire ??
 
Hi All, is there a trick or special tool to crimp on new pins to wires, i have one of those wire strippers with the crimp that is color coded yellow red and blue, when i try to crimp on new pins to my turn signal wires it never looks like the fsctory ones, There must be a special tool or at the least a trick or i'm just doing it wrong.

You will probably need a molex crimping tool for pins.

I stopped at local hd dealership the other day to see about getting factory connectors for my mean city cycles heated seat mod. They said bring everything over and they have all the pins, connectors and crimping tool to do this.

You may wanna check your local dealer or search for molex crimping tool.

If your careful, you can use a set of needle nose pliers. I just made all new plugs for my speaker lids and of course didn't have the correct tool. Got it done and all is good, looks just like factory connections.

I took my time and used needle nose pliers. They pretty much look like factory, fit back in the molex weather seal, and are still strong.

The Philmore Crimping tool for D-SUB connectors P/N WS26 works good for small jobs. Frys.com sells them for around $9-10.
