Loose Connection

[Brian1960]

Hi, anyone offer any me advice on how to connect the Black wire back to this connection, or replace the connection.
It's on an illuminated LED Mirror, it must have been crimped, as I push it back into place it just keeps coming out.

Many Thanks.

The crimp should be possible to take out by pushing down a tab on the side with a sharp point and then sliding it towards where the wire was. Then you could either squash the wire in place wire pliers or solder. I would probably solder.

Thanks for that, re-use the existing crimp you mean?
What do they call those connections in case I have to replace?

Many Thanks.

Any suitable connector will do.

These are good - ever so cheap.

It needs to plug into a socket like fitting that is attached to a circuit board.

Many Thanks.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yes, that's the type of fitting, unsure of the size in the Mirror though, if I could get the metal crimp out and redo it that should solve it.

Many Thanks.

I see the problem, I do have the pliers, but it does not have all the crimps, so likely need a soldering iron to continue using the quick connector. My set came from Lidi, the idea of the over centre pliers is the crimping pressure is controlled, but use another make of crimps, and calibration is not valid, so seems likely a soldering iron job anyway.

Ok thanks for that, much appreciated.
