IMG_8646.jpegIMG_8649.jpegimage.jpgHi,
I have accidentally pulled a wire out of connector (believe it is a molex?)
I have seen info about getting the metal part out of the connector but only if the wire is still attached.
Is there any way I can get the metal part out so I can reattach the wire?
Thanks
 
As per mainline
Once you get it out you will either have to solder the repair, or obtain a new 'pin' and a crimp tool to crimp it.
I came across this video, not the clearest, but hopefully you get the idea:


Other option is to pull the corresponding wire out of the other half of the connector, and use a crimp to join the wires, unless it is vital to be able to disconnect the two halves. Or use a suitable Wago for this wire??
