Automotive Wiring Connectors 101: Tech Tip Tuesday

Great informational video!

How bout a video on that sexy nova I see

Would be nice to post the links of the tools used

Very nice video

Links for the tools? I take it those are iwis crimpers?

You need to put your mustang behind you, not that junky CHEVY !!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great video, thanks guys!

Very helpful video, thanks so much.

I think a video on type of wire that is used/recommended. All tools and links to purchase? Sizing wire gauge for what its used for?

When using the plastic tool to insert the contact into the connector, if you need to remove that contact for some reason (mis-pinned, wiring changes) the white side of the tool is for removal. Not for every connector, but it's worth trying it in your connector before you try using a pick that may damage your connector. The pins/contacts you use are usually available in bulk. Using the connector part number, google for different suppliers. Some suppliers, not all, will have links on the connector page to the contacts needed and some even have links to associated tooling. I think Digikey is one of the ones that has good info on their connector pages, sometimes even links to the manufacturer's data sheets.

I agree, there was a guy that had a bad crimp on his fuel pump. When the car would leave it, the pump would shut off. 6 months he had the issue til he found out the problem.

Great video

Great video and Great job Brent!

Great video! Would love more wiring vidoes!

$1000 worth of crimp tools plus the wire and connectors, then your making connections yourself. Sometimes it’s worth having a professional wire your car.

More wiring videos would be great. Please add a link ,or at the least, a generic description of the tools required. Many thanks.

Great Video!! Any chance you can share the tools you use? I have a good selection of wiring tools but I’d like to see the brands and part numbers of the ones you used.

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos !!!

With Calcium Chloride and road salt invading terminal harnesses use 3M Scotchkote FD . A coating designed for underground electrical slices . Expensive however works well !

Great video man! Thanks. I have a question though. I notice you did not twist the wire strands before crimping a pin or terminal end on. Is that not recommended? It always seemed to me to give a more secure connection.

I spent 180 for aeromotive fuel pump hard wire kit. I thought I was getting something like this. But nope!

I would love to see a video on setting up caltrac bars especially since Doug's car is still using leaf spring and radials.

fire video

Good info.

Ive been using Deutsch connectors for years on Ponsse forestry machines, so it's cool to see them finally transition to automotive.

Great video. Thanks

Not well explained. How do I know the gauge of a wire? Would love to know where to obtain that wire-stripping tool, none of those I've ever bought have been any good.

Nice job on the video! Nice refresh for myself! thanks for taking the time to share.
