Terminal Repair

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If the wire needed to be cut in order to remove the terminal, gently push a small length of the same size wire through the back of the connector cavity until there is enough wire exposed in order to crimp on a new terminal. If the wire was not cut, cut the existing wire as close to the old terminal as possible.
  2. Strip 5 mm (3/16 in) of insulation from the wire.
  3. Crimp a new terminal to the wire.
  4. Solder the crimp with rosin core solder.
