Round Wire Connectors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick LaCrosse and 2006 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Follow the procedure below to test terminal contact of Metri-Pack or 56 series terminals. Refer to the J-38125  or the J 38125-4 Instruction Manual for terminal identification. See Special Tools .

Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:

  1. Separate the connector halves.
  2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals and connector body.
  3. Using an equivalent male terminal from the J-38125  , test that the retention force is significantly different between a good terminal and a suspect terminal. See Special Tools . Replace the female terminal in question.
