MODELS: ALL 1986 MODELS

Figure No. 1 - New Metri-Pack connectors and terminals:

Some 1986 model trucks use a new type of connector and terminals (Metri-Pack, See Figure No. 1) in selected locations. Terminals in these connectors are the pull-to-seat type. The wire is inserted through the seal and the connector body (Figure No. 1-A). The terminal is crimped to the stripped wire, then pulled back into the connector body until it is locked in place (Figure No. 1, B & C).

To remove the terminals, first slide the seal back on the wires, then insert tool BT-8518 or J 35689-A as shown in Figure 1, C & B. To release the terminal, push the wire and terminal through the connector. If reusing the terminal, reshape the locking tang.
