Obd pin is broke what to do?

Drsauce10 · 05-24-2019, 04:21 PM

Ok so I was about to mhd flash my car today and go to plug in my bimmergeek cord and it kept saying to plug in my device and I start to look further into the problem and look at the obd port and see one of the holes were a pin is suppose to go ... the piece is bent so the metal connector is not properly fitting in the port, so how do I go about removing the pin that's in the obd port thats bent and replace it?

I'm not sure it's just one of the pin ports tho that is bent in the obd port that I need to replace

The pins can be individually ordered and replaced. The issue is you need a special tool to get the old pin out.

smassey321 - Do you have a supplier/part number for a tool you've used successfully?

I had to repin my obd port and getting the pins out to the new receptical was very difficult I had to use a needle to help release the pins from the old obd port

Use this to de-pin the connector...

For reference I did try this tool but it wasn't small enough... I had to use a combination of long needles

Talk to supplier or manufacturers. Hopefully, they will help to fix it.
