Anyone know what depinning tool is required for the EHC harnesses? I got all my turn signal issues figured out, and as I was getting the EHC back into place, the RUN/STOP switch wire came out of the connector. :mad:

Curtis hooked me up with one from eBay. It is just a hollow tube that fits over the pin and punches the locking tab in. For just one pin you could wing it with a dental pic.

My local auto parts store has one of these in stock, hopefully it'll have the correct pin size. I'll also have to source a new pin.

Radio Shmack carries a pin extraction tool with a plunger, and the local HD carries all the pins & such.
I've read that computer power connectors (old style) use the same pins. I probably have a few in a drawer somewhere. If they're the same, would be very nice to have an assembled pigtail to just pop in and solder/shrink to the original wire.

No go on the standard, old style computer power harness pins. They're 0.093" diameter, found out my harness uses 0.084" pins. I was able to find 3 matching female pins out of the multitude of pins a local electronics wholesale/scrap/overstock shop had. Cost me a whopping $0.19!
For future reference, I believe the Molex pin part number is 02-08-1002.
