on my 92 trooper, just about every component connector and wiring harness connector is constructed this way. i think they may be called Weather-Pak connectors or somesuch.

i don't have a sacrificial connector to tear apart to see how it's constructed, so i'm just a bit afraid of screwing it up with the wrong 'probe'.

so far the needle and safety pin ideas seem *maybe* the best for diy solutions. (he says not knowing what he's talking about at all)
bendorfold on planetisuzoo provided the 'pro' way -- it's called a backprobe pin. here's an image from this site http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/pom6411.html

only problem, i can't tell exactly what it's shaped like in order to do a good mickey-mouse copy.

anybody actually use a backprobe pin for this type of application? and/or seen one of those connectors apart?


thanks
