ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – HOW TO SEPARATE?

[Anonymous]

#3885

In an attempt to eliminate an intermittent fault in (a) windscreen operation & (b) in engine failure while out on a run,  I want to pull apart and clean all the connectors I can find, starting with the windscreen.    Can anyone please tell me how the male pins can be removed – and how the wires are attached to them?  I can see that terminals are crimped to the wires, but can't see how the terminals are secured to the back of the male pins.  Hopefully, the attached pix will clarify the problem.

Bryan, have a look at this link the plug looks the same as the hall sensor on an 1100. It shows you how to make a tool to remove the round pins from the holder. Page 12 on hope it works for you.http://users.rcn.com/dehager/service/oilhead_hall_sensors.pdfGood luck with that.boGSer

Many thanks boGSer for your reply & info.  I attempted making a tool after trying to buy one, but was unable to remove the pins.  However, while methodically cleaning as many connectors as I could find, I discovered one which had a G/Y wire that had come adrift.  Connected……all systems GO!  Disconnect….nothing!  Hopefully there will be no further intermittent stoppages….and the windscreen operates lika new.  The faulty connection was at a connector aft the tank electrical connector (RHS);  It appeared to be a makeshift connection;- the G/Y exited the connector and simply looped back onto the adjacent pin. – perhaps an expedient 'fix' after a previous owner (police?) had removed the side-stand switch of which there is no trace?
