CONNECTORS AND TERMINALS
Use care when probing a connector and when replacing terminals. It is possible to short between opposite terminals. Damage to components could result. Always use jumper wires between connectors for circuit checking. Never probe through Weather-Pack seals. Use tachometer adapter J 35812, or equivalent, which provides a convenient connection to the tachometer lead. The connector test adapter kit J 35616, or equivalent, contains an assortment of flexible connectors used to probe terminals during diagnosis. Fuse remover and test tool BT-8616, or equivalent is used for removing a fuse and to adapt the fuse holder to a meter for diagnosis.
Open circuits are often difficult to locate by sight because oxidation or terminal misalignment are hidden by the connectors. Merely wiggling a connector on a sensor, or in the wiring harness may temporarily correct the open circuit. Intermittent problems may also be caused by oxidized or loose connections.
Be certain the type of connector/terminal before making any connector or terminal repair. Weather-Pack and Com-Pack Ill terminals look similar, but are serviced differently.

CONTROL MODULE CONNECTORS AND TERMINALS
Remove or Disconnect
1. Remove the connector terminal retainer.
2. Push the wire connected to the affected terminal through the connector face so that the terminal is exposed.
3. Service the terminal as necessary.

Install or Connect
1. Bend tab on connector to allow terminal to be pulled into position within the connector.
2. Pull carefully on wire to install the connector terminal retainer.

Metri-Pack
Metri-Pack terminals are also referred to as "Pull-To-Seat' terminals, because to install a terminal on a wire, the wire must be inserted through the seal (5) and connector (4).The terminal is then crimped onto the wire. Then the terminal is pulled back into the connector to seat it in place. To remove a terminal, follow these steps:

Figure 11 - Metri-Pack Series 150 Terminal Removal:

- Slide the seal back on the wire.
- Insert tool (3) BT-851 8, or J 35689, as shown in insert "A" and "B," to release the terminal locking tab (2).
- Push the wire and terminal out through the connector. If reusing the terminal, reshape the locking tang.
