Delphi Connector Madness:

[McRat]

So I got this box of Delphi Connectors so I can redo my gauging and clean things up. Pic 1. I got the tool to crimp the pins, works GOOD. Pic 2.

But it has these stupid little water seals, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to push then into the connector. They are WAY bigger than the hole, and when you have the wire inside them, it gets worse. Pic 3.

Anyone know how to do this?

First one I used silicone and omitted the seals. Pic 4.

Those seals are for the weatherpack connectors.

 

[SIKDMAX]

Yup Mikes right.

And LOL - Caspers Electronics huh? Nice company!

 

[McRat]

Those seals are for the weatherpack connectors.

And what pray tell IS A WEATHERPACK CONNECTOR????



I been screwing with this for 4 hours.

These Dephi plugs go right into many of our engine sensors. So by using these, I can get some really solid connections and piggy backing on factory sensors.

Crappola. I put a female end on the harness, and the sensor was female too.

While lesbians are perhaps a staple of Porn, they aren't good conductors.

You need the GM hands on course in connectors and terminals. A fun filled day of pulling wires out of connectors, cutting them off, finding the right terminal from 28 different terminal trays (I think each tray can hold up to 20 different terminals) then figure out which of the (now 7 I believe different) crimping pliers to use.

Anyway, using the weatherpack does depend on the style of connector that is being used like the other said.

I love weatherpack connectors...

You da man!

That has the GM part numbers for the bale connectors in it.

It doesn't say how to install the little seals though.

Are you saying that scotch-locks are more your speed, Pat..:rofl:

After so much trouble with ScotchLoks, I starting soldering everything. Then that got to be a pain since I'm always changing stuff.

GM is much smarter than me, so using their connectors can't be bad.

That ain't no shit. You forgot to mention, all the other hands that have mixed up everything and taken what they want. Then to go back to work the next day and ask where the terminals and crimpers are, just to get a look form the other guys.:giveup:
