Electrical Connector Terminal Extraction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

It must be noted that some electrical connector(s) have anti-backout devices which prevent the terminals from being removed from the electrical connector. Some examples of these are shown in following illustrations. The anti-backout device must be released before attempting to remove the terminal from the electrical connector. Some anti-backout devices require a special tip to release the device. Please refer to the ERL for the correct tool(s) to use (where applicable).

Various types of electrical connector have seals installed internally or externally to prevent moisture ingress. These normally do not have to be removed but make sure that they are installed when the electrical connectors are connected.

CAUTION: Inspect the electrical connector housing for evidence of damage which may affect the security of a terminal inside the connector housing, the operation of the anti-backout device and the secure fitment of the connector housing to the intended component/connector housing. Replace any damaged electrical connector housing.

The illustrations show examples of some of the common styles of extraction tools used on different types of electrical connector(s). Care should be exercised to avoid further damage when removing the terminals from the electrical connector.

NOTE: Examples of the extraction tools and anti-backout devices.
