I hate these JST connectors

[wolfen]

Just wanted to say how much I hate these connectors. I spent the last 2 days putting a new plug for my front blinkers on and when I was done they wouldn`t work. They were shorting out and the pins were touching each other . I give up and now I`m going to take the plug out all together and wire it direct. Boy sometimes I like working on the Harley a lot better. If it wasn`t for the ride I would sell my chopper.

and the right tool....i use the jst tool but it doesnt always work so smooth...so i took a parer clip and touched one end on the grinder so i had a flat screwdriver blade looking end and had way better luck with that...but thats just me./..

I HATE those fuc8ing connectors also, a Weatherpack connector is a million times better and more user friendly.....

X3 they are too small for my eyes and hands.

I use a Bobbie pin. They are almost perfect size and good hardness.

Yep those things suck, for sure got to hold your tounge just right

They're actually pretty easy once you get use to working with them. I find a small sewing needle works wonders for de-pinning them...

And there you go!

Or u could always switch over to deutch pin connectors. They are pricey but worth it.

I like the deutsch better but their just too damn big for a bike your trying to hide everything on.

I use a very small precision screwdriver.

Yea but not easy for testing. I found that a sewing needle stuck in sometimes works for my volt meter.
