LaCrosse FWD V6-3.0L (2010)
9. Use EL-38125-12A to gently lift the terminal retaining tab while gently pulling the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never
use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector.
10. If the terminal is severely bent or damaged, it may be possible on some connectors to push the wire out of the front of the connector instead of
pulling it through. This will prevent damage to the internal seals of the connector. Once the terminal is pushed out of the connector, cut the wire as
close to the terminal as possible and pull the wire through the connector.
Terminated Lead Repair
1. Remove the terminal.
2. Find the appropriate terminated lead.
3. Use the appropriate splice sleeves depending on the gauge size.
4. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Wiring
Repairs/Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves).
Terminal Repair Procedure
The Micro-Pack 100W connectors have small terminals that are difficult to handle and hold when crimping. In order to aid the technician when crimping
these terminals, a new crimping tool was developed. The J 38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool was developed to crimp Micro-Pack 100W terminals. The J
38125-101 (W jaw) crimping tool has a terminal holding block that will hold the terminal in place while the terminal is being crimped. After the terminal
is removed from the connector perform the following procedure in order to repair Micro-Pack 100 terminals.
1. Cut the wire as close to the terminal as possible.
Note: After cutting the damaged terminal from the wire, determine if the remaining wire is long enough to reach the connector without putting a
strain on the wire. If the wire is not long enough, splice a small length of the same gauge wire to the existing wire, then crimp the new terminal on
the added wire.
2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
