Got melted connectors?  Here’s why:

If connectors are not inspected & maintained, the cycle will continue and the problems will increase.

How to solve the problem:

  • Inspect every connector whenever an electrical part is replaced.  Have your connector kit, part# 11-501 ($90) on hand for repairs.
  • If corrosion is just starting: remove connector(s) and sand blast, wire brush, etc.  to clean the area
  • If plug is melted: remove all plugs & replace them with new components using Rick’s Motorsport crimping tool – Part# 11-001 ($75)
  1. In some cases, terminals may need to be soldered to the wires.
  2. Depending on the degree of corrosion, some wire in the harness may need to be replaced as well.

Always use a high quality/high temp dielectric grease on all electrical connections to prevent future problems.
