last night my head lights wouldnt turn on so i checked the fuse bla bla bla ended up buyin the swich wich i just attempted to put in and the conector was melted around one of the holes so i cant get a conection with one of the prong things on the swith ... any ideas on how i can get it working. thanks

 

Very small screwdriver.
Poke into the wire connector from the switch side (connector in hand---not on switch.)

One side of the wire end will be flat, the other has a retaining tab.
This is evident by a smal recess in the opening for the wire end.

Push screwdriver in and give a few small twists.
Pull wire out of other end of connector.

Take screwdriver and pry the retaining tab back.

You may need to make some room where the connector itself melted.
Cordless drill with 1/8" bit should work.
Need to make enough room so the melted plastic of the connector will not interfere with the wire.

Once enough room has been made...reattach the connector to the switch.
Then push wire end into its appropiate location and make a solid connection to its prong. Then a few wraps of electrical tape around the cluster of wires should keep the wire in question where it should be.


If this still does not help with the problem...time for a J/Y run.
Grab a connector that has ALL its wires intact.
Cut it off taking as much of the wires as possible with you.

Make a simple diagram of the connector (backside---wires in) and the colors of YOUR wires.
Then using the procedure stated above, transfer ONE wire at a time to the J/Y connector. Wire color of the J/Y connector is unimportant.
Make sure you follow your diagram when reinserting YOUR wires into the connector.

NOTE: You need to make sure after removing YOUR wire from YOUR connector that you pry the locking tab back out otherwise the wire will not stay. It will pop out and cause a whole world of OTHER problems.

Whew!!!! My fingers are tired.

 

i put the new one in as best as i could and it didnt work... didnt think it would so i am going to do what you say but i cant get the **** out now haha. i am pushing on the bottom button but it wont come out and that button hurts your fingers

 

i hope this doesnt happen to any of you... its very frustrating. ahhhhhh

had to vent

 

Ensure you're pushing the bottom button in as bast you can and then just pull like hell. You may rip the guts out of the switch but at this point you know you need to make a JY run for a new switch and the connector, anyway. Please make sure your battery is disconnected before any of this other stuff. No need making more electrical problems for yourself.

 

i got it all figured out thnks guys

 

How r u making out?

 

the part on the conecter that melted luckly didnt mess it up to bad it just made one of the wires so it could slideup and down so when i plugged it it it just pushed up into the plastic and dint connect but i just pulled that wire through , hooked it up then slid the plug over the wire and pluged the rest in. really hard to explain hahah can you picture it?

 

I got it in my view...lol

 

well alllright hah
