    how to remove

    OK,,,,,here is an easy one.....

    I hope...

    I need to swap out the 2 wires orange/green to go where the black/white one is

    how do I poke these connectors out of the plastic holder, so I can do the swap, so that my new LED flasher will work, and my my new led blinkers go blink, blink, blink.....

    I am already scarring up this poor part, don't want to make it worse or break it

    please advise

    Get a hold of Chuck Hahn on here as he has links to the cheap tools that are needed to do that kind of stuff.

      A paper clip or a pick will go down the side of that pretty easily and release the clip that holds them in

        Paper clips will do the job but it is tricky and you will need patience as it takes time to press the clip on the terminal just right. I picked up a set of jewelers screwdrivers last night to try on my headlight connector. I should probably get out there soon.

          Go by your favorite parts store and look in the trash can outside the front door. Pull out the discarded windshield wiper blades. Choose one with the twin ribs (two seperate metal strips down each side) and throw the others back. Take it apart and cut off about 4 inches of one rib. Bend about 1/2 inch of one end to make a handle. Works perfect and free!

            used a small jewelers flat blade screwdriver, poked it down the holes as in picture #1 and out they came, swapped them around, plugged in the new relay and I have blink.blink.blink...

                  Leave everything the way it is, make jumper wires with male or female spade connectors on the ends, as necessary.

                      more connections, like these bikes need more areas for a bad connection, they already have enough, I was not about to introduce more....

                      but, whatever floats your boat....

                      it didn't take much to swap the 2 wires and plug in the relay

                        @Gatekeeper - I should add that in no way was I calling you stupid. Just the saying that popped in my head I follow when dealing with problems.

                          Well I am glad you cleared that up.....I was really bummed out by that....

                          NOT,,,,didn't even think about it that way at all

                          It's all good.....I have thick skin, been around long enough to not let every itty bitty thing hurt my feelings....



                          and I kept it really simple, I didn't introduce any extra wires or connections, just swapped around 2 wires, and plugged in the relay,,,,talk about KISS......LOL
