Wiring Pin (Terminal) Fit And The Use Of Rotunda Flex Probes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To avoid wiring pin (terminal) damage, Rotunda Flex Probes NUD105-R025D or equivalent must be used to connect test equipment or jumper wires to pins (terminals).
Male to female pin (terminal) fit is critical for correct connection and durability.
- Pin (terminal) fit may be checked by using the mating pin (terminal) to test for normal separation force (a damaged pin or terminal will have very low separation force from the mating pin or terminal)
- Correctly checking the separation force of small pins (terminals) may require removal of the connector terminal guide/retainer if it adds drag to the pin (terminal) insertion or removal
Replace damaged connectors or pins (terminals).
- Use the Wiring Diagram connector view to identify the correct replacement connector with pigtail.
- Use the Wire Harness Terminal Repair Guide to identify and order the correct replacement pin and pigtail. Available through Ford Dealers, REFER to FMC dealer website, or REFER to www.fcs.dealerconnection.com/wire.
