jaiscossie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 have a wire come off behind the dash now its to short to pull through to connect back together (its inhalf) so trying to think of a way to join it, can get my hands through hole under stereo but is tight. no room for crimpers or such as wire is to short and really dont wanna have to take whole dash apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 top first (5 screws) and then unplug. all the rest is just clipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaiscossie Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 is it fairly easy to do? as not done it before? how long would you say to take whole lot out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 5 mins. but as its your first go about 3 hours..lol.. NO not really. its easy. 1 take the ashtray out.(just pulls up) 2. handbrake up and select N. 3.pull gear surround bit up carefully. 4. then undo the 5 srews along the top bit. 5. unplug all the plugs(they only go back in one place) so don't worrie about what goes where. 6. carefully pull the clock surrond off(just clips) and then remove the bit around the stereo. this can be a sod. as too can the air con plug to get out. but it wiil come out.

jaiscossie Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 just had a thought, could these connecters be used with one hand? ie placed in a small hole these snapped shut on the wire?? if so could save me alot of work? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Terminal-Scotchlock-wire-tap-connector-Pack-of-20_W0QQitemZ280032165532QQihZ018QQcategoryZ15329QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
