Emerald connector plug missing wires

[HeMan]

Hello,

Just trying to connect up a switch to my Emerald K6 so I can switch between a loud and quiet (i.e. fueling on the overrun) setting.  I have read the easiest way is to earth pin 35, the AuxIn, via a switch.  I don't need to be able to switch it from in the car, so something basic will do.

But, I don't have a wire coming out of the back of the connector for pin 35; just an empty space.

Does any one know ifhow I can add a wire to the connector?

Thanks

They are just Econoseal pins and seals:

I must have a shedload of these somewhere, so can hoy one or two in the post to you if you like.

Ahh, so I just need two of the metal bits and two of the green bungs and I can slide them in?

Do I need a special crimping tool or can I solderpliers it?

[Mankee]

You only need one terminal and one wire seal per pin that you want to add. You really ought to use a specific Econoseal crimping tool for the job, but when you only want to do one or two terminals every now and again, it doesn't make sense to spend a tonne of money on a tool. I will probably get shot down in flames, but I've just used one of those generic multi-crimping tools and they work fine.

If you want, I can crimp a few terminals for you with some tails of whatever colour I can find in my box of chopped looms. And then all you have to do is shove them in the back of the housing wherever you need them.

I need to ground pin 35, so I am thinking I might need to find a spare pin that is grounded, hence needing two. But if there isn't one I could always join another ground wire. Either way, I don't need the tails to be more than about 20cm I shouldn't think.

Thanks very much for your help.

I think you will also need to remove the anti-backout plate from the other side of the connector before the terminals will slide in. With any luck, this link should tell you more than you ever want to know about how to do it.

Indeed, more than I ever knew there was to know about my flanges!

Thanks.
