Default Fried C101 connector!!

Hey Guys, So i ahve been breaking my head tryin to get my ignition system to start my jeep. I have been arcing my starter( or something like that)just to get it started kinda of annoying. I was checking out Cruiser 54 renix tips and went to refresh my c101 connector and saw it was fried! (pics Below) Am I jumping to conclusions to think this is the problem? At this point if i am going to fix this should i get rid of it altogether ?

You should eliminate it. A couple weeks ago I followed Crusiers instructions to eliminate it and it went well. It took me an hour or so to do..

Just Finished my c101 delete! Unfortunatley my problem persists... On the bright side i successfully eliminated the c101. what a pain. I arc the starter and she starts up. Im installing a push button start tomorrow to solve my other problem.

What you see there is not a fried connector but age old dielectric grease. The connector should be eliminated nonetheless.

Yeah. As I took it apart I realized it wasn't fried. Still happy I got rid of it. Would of been really happy if it solved my problem. No biggie now I have excuse to install a cool push button.
