Handling Connectors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Hyundai Kona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
  2. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with grease (except watertight connectors).
  3. All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).

  4. Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
  5. Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove the connector from its mount bracket (A).

  7. Always reinstall plastic covers.
