Terminal Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Buick Regal and 2003 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the terminal is visibly damaged or is suspected of having a faulty connection, the terminal should be replaced.

Follow the steps below in order to repair pull-to-seat connectors:

  1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock.
  2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in line connectors.
  3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device.
  4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body.
    IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
  5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3).
