[QUOTE="OX1, post: 15605562, member: 175132"] Used this thread here, which was excellent. [URL]https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/add-on-to-roush-tvs-installation-instructions.827645/[/URL] But one thing I could not find anywhere was really detailed explanation/pics about getting electrical connectors apart and de/re-pinning. Not rocket science, but I didn’t want to mess up a pin and be kicking myself for not spending the $150 for the VMP wiring harnesses. First thing I recommend is one of these head mounted lights. Many times needed both hands and needed to see down inside connector. [ATTACH=full]1539767[/ATTACH] This is the tool I got, Lisle 57780 Terminal Tool for Ford, from Amazon for $13 [ATTACH=full]1539768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1539769[/ATTACH] This is the end you want to use. It is the smallest of the single flat blades with a tapered end. [ATTACH=full]1539770[/ATTACH] Here is the TPS connector with backshell and rubber weather seal pulled back [ATTACH=full]1539771[/ATTACH] Remove red pin retainer. Can use angled pic to pull out. You can see small barbs on the top of next pic. These break pretty easy, but luckily, this retainer goes back in and stays, even if you broke off one of the little internal barbs. [ATTACH=full]1539772[/ATTACH] Orientation you need to hold connector. Note cavity above each pin. [ATTACH=full]1539773[/ATTACH] Insert the tool, with beveled edge of tool facing up, right above the pin. Ensure the tool is contacting top surface of pin. LIGHTLY slide in tool and you feel the lightest “click’ as the tool pushes plastic pin lock, upward. [ATTACH=full]1539774[/ATTACH] Pull wire out the back of connector. Note orientation of pin, it has a recess on the “top” where is mates with plastic pin lock in connector. [ATTACH=full]1539775[/ATTACH] Make sure when you are manipulating connector, you don’t bend wires in a position to force pin upwards (see pin all the way on right in next pic). I suspect it could damage plastic pin lock if one was too aggressive. [ATTACH=full]1539776[/ATTACH] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canister purge valve connector is a bit different. I could only get red pin retainer to pull upwards about 1/8 inch. It would not come off completely. I was able to remove pins without pin retainer removal. [ATTACH=full]1539777[/ATTACH] Tool insertion orientation. [ATTACH=full]1539778[/ATTACH] Again, note pin orientation for re-insertion (this is with new Roush supplied connector). [ATTACH=full]1539779[/ATTACH] Ensure wire colors are meeting up on both ends of connector while you are inserting. [ATTACH=full]1539780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1539781[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
