Nice! Roger that. That might be the better alternative but still we are curious what has made the connector spread out like that? Hopefully the replacement female pin socket will solve the issue.
It could even be since it was not making good connection it formed another layer that makes it lose connection more often. Unrelated but I had this happen with the aftermarket headlamp assembly (just oem aftermarket) side marker. The connection was poor and thus it carved out a cavity in the metal which I filled with solder then sanded down smooth and have had no issues since. |

Just to clarify we are trying to press as to why it got bent in the first place. That shouldn't happen. Also if it occurs after you bend it back then it must be doing something strange. Best regards, hope you get it sorted out!

quick little update to those who are interested. i removed the connector from my car and found something interesting (see image) it seems that it spat out its guts. *i made sure not to damage it when removing so we can see what went on in there*

alright so we’ve pinpointed the issue. i changed wire on that connector now and that’s all good BUT i still get no crank no start. if i wiggle that connector i can start the car leading me to believe that the connector is not staying in its place resulting in it not making good contact after a drive. i’ve inspected it and all looks good it just sometimes won’t make contact well enough to engage the starter. any ideas why this could happen or possible fixes?

Inspect the pin on other side of the two interconnects. It could be causing the issue to begin with.
When you take the picture, gotta try to make sure the focus is on the thing. Need detail. In most the pictures, it is really difficult to tell. Can see other things in image better. Also, if you have the means try to resize images to around 720-900p as they will show up in the forum much better. |
