Please help ASAP, managed to break something

pcmike · 03-07-2011, 06:11 AM

Well guys,

Today I managed to snap off the terminal on the end of the power wire (the one needed for a Procede install) that connects into the green adapter in the ECU while getting ready to goto the dealer...

... if I were to connect everything back up minus this power wire would I at least be able to drive my car to the dealer without damaging anything? I'll get it fixed, but it's definitely not getting fixed sitting in my driveway.

Also, does anyone know where I can get the pin that goes on the end of the wire, preferably somewhere in South Florida?

Thank you.

Cut both ends of the wire and put on your own wiring connectors. The car won't move without that wire attached The dealership probably won't open the ECU box anyway, so just do this for one time and order the terminals to complete the repair.

Where is the best place to order the terminal from? Would the dealer's parts department have it?

Yup. Search on here for ecu power wire and you'll find a bunch of threads with the part number. Take it to your dealer and order a few in case you mess up the crimping the first couple times.

Well I ordered four of PN#: 61138364835 and had them overnighted. It's going to cost me about $17.89 to get them tomorrow. Then the only thing will be figuring out the best tool to use to crimp the connector on. Can anyone with experience point me in the direction of the proper tool I should be using?

A wire crimper should do the job.
