Molex Removal?

SlikNik · 10-15-2009, 11:20 AM

I did a quick search and didn't comeup with much. My question is I have my door molex to this point.

How do I remove it from this point? I have the lever unclipped and folded back, I wiggled a bit but it doesn't seem to want to unclip.

Any ideas?

close the door *slightly* you can pull it off. (I did this in my car, I know- have a friend help if you don't want your hand crushed)

Once you have it off, you have to pull out the other side of the connector from inside the car. Grab an exacto knife and carefully cut out the UNUSED plastic part at the top of the connector, you can run your wires through there fine.

Damn, I just went out and closed the door some and WHAMMO I was able to pull lever all the way down. It practically fell out.

You guys rock

Once removed it is easy to unhook the female connector and drill out a hole in the connector to run 12 guage through. The fun part is running the wire through the rubber hose and then reconnecting the oh so fun Molex back together without it clicking open all the way or closing before you get the two connectors together. Did drivers side first and finally got it which made the passendger side go quicker. The big difference on the pass. side is the Molex connector pin faces the opposite way and you can't get at the opening to stick a eye glass screw driver in there. So it took me a little bit to figure out how to disconnect.

Glad to be moving on to the next step. I had to suck down a Sam Adams after that

You can do that but me I just used the stock wiring. That is stable up until 65 watts.
