Damn F*#KIN Stupid Wire Connectors
I just want everyone to know, that I have given up concerning the removal of wire connectors from turn signal. THis is about the most fu*$kin stupid thing I've ever fu*$#kin seen. I am simply just trying to change the turn signal standoffs to a shorter one like Mudpuddle's. Everyone seems to have trouble with this fu*#kin stupid thing. I am going to fu*$kin cut the fu*$#kin damn thing and solder it. Fu*#kin Sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now if you can excuse me, while I fire some rounds outside from my Benelli M4 shotgun.

Not sure but if your talking about the connectors for the turn signals inside the tail light i just used a pair of needle nose pliers and had no problems you gotta give them a little bit of a squeese an they pop right out.

Not to be contrary, but there is a specific procedure in the Service Manual showing exactly how to release the locking tang inside the connector. Done correctly, the terminal will slide easily out of the connector body, and will securely lock back into place on reinsertion.
I just changed to the narrow mounts over the weekend, followed the procedure in the Service Manual, and had no problems with the connectors at all.
Ditto for front signal relocation.
Good luck!!

RE: Damn F*#KIN Stupid Wire Connectors
When I did my tin change I had to disconnect quite a few. They all have the same concept. The thing that worked the best for me was a rivet that I took to a bench grinder to make the end flat and narrow. (about and inch long) Like a real small regular screw drive. Shine a light inside the plug and you can see where you need to push to get the wire to come out. Once you get a couple you won't even have to look in there again. Once you get the right spot it is amazing how easy they come out. I know it is frustrating but if you take them apart that is the best. Also before I took the wires out I took close up pictures with a digital camera so i made sure they went back together right. Good luck.

RE: Damn F*#KIN Stupid Wire Connectors
Kaduku,
Sorry you got so rattled by the connector pins. As a former aircraft electronics guru, I am quite familiar with taking pins out of connectors and re-installing them. There are many special tools dedicated to this purpose, as each manufacturer seems to enjoy making a different way to insert or remove these things. Learning to do this, without damaging the connector, takes patience and practice. That is why I immediatley cut the connector off and splice it back on where I need it.
