Crimp new Molex pins onto System 80 wires

Steps

  • Use a proper crimper such as the Molex WHT-1921 or Amp 725.
  • Crimp the bare wire in the first saddle (nearest the contact), then the insulation in the second.
  • Push the pin into the back of the housing until it clicks, with the wiper facing the inside.
