Troubleshooting
Connection is loose or intermittent.
Ensure terminals are fully seated in the connector housing and the secondary lock is engaged. Verify that the correct wire gauge was used for the terminals and that a proper crimp was achieved using the recommended tool.
Connector does not fit together properly.
Check for any obstructions or bent pins/sockets within the connector housings. Ensure you are using the correct male and female halves.
Terminals do not hold wire securely.
