Locate the connector position
assurance (CPA) on the top of the wire dress cover. Slide the CPA
forward. |

Slide the lever lock forward
while pressing down on the lever lock release tab. |
3. |
The lever should be in the
full forward position. |
4. |
Disconnect the connector from
the component. |
5. |
Remove the dress cover by
using a flat bladed tool to release the dress cover locking tabs
and lift up on the dress cover. |
6. |
Cut the tie wrap that holds
the wires to the connector body. |
7. |
Use a small flat-blade tool to
pry one side of the nose piece up to the pre-stage position. When
the nose piece is in the pre-staged position, the nose piece will
be raised above the connector body the length of the step in the
nose piece. |
8. |
Use a small flat-blade tool to
pry the other side of the piece to the pre-stage position. If the
nose piece is higher than the first step in the nose piece, gently
push down on the nose piece until it meets with resistance from the
connector body, you should feel the nose piece click into
position. |
9. |
Insert the J-38125-213 into
the small terminal release hole on the nose piece and gently pull
on the back of the wire. |

Insert the repaired terminal
back into the cavity. Repeat the diagnostic procedure to verify the
repair and reconnect the connector bodies. |

in order to insert the terminal.
1. |
Slide the new terminal into
the correct cavity at the back of the connector. |
