Grommet - A Pillar: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The following illustration shows a typical door harness connector.
- Peel the A Pillar grommet (1) off of the connector/retainer and move it up the wire harness.
- Grasp the wire harness (2) by the convolute section of the grommet and gently pull the wire harness down towards the floor to expose the connector lock tabs.CAUTION:
Do not force the locking tab past the connector body, as damage to the connector may occur.
- While still pulling down on the harness, use a small slotted screw driver (3) to gently push one of the top lock tabs until the lock feature is flush with the connector/retainer body.
- Repeat the step 3 for the remaining top lock tab.
- The connector should now be able to rock out of the sheet metal hole without causing any damage to the connector or sheet metal.
