I've read the post about wiring through a molex from forbidden, and found it wonderfully informative.

However, I cannot seem to figure out how to apply the principles to my particular situation.

I've got this thing that I cannot seem to disconnect, move, disassemble, or anything. I can't figure out how to even get the thing apart in order to attempt to run wires through it. There's a picture below.

Has anyone done one of these before, and can offer some advice on how to run wire through it?

Now that I've stepped away from it, and had a chance to think, it appears as though this thing might be some sort of plug that comes apart where it changes from round to sorta squared. Though I still can't figure out how to get them apart.

hi,

well it's the connector for the drivers door. i don't recall 100%, but if the round cap on top doesn't pop off, then remove the cable tie around the rubber boot. (you can always replace the cable tie) and pull the boot down. there is a bolt, 7 or 8 mm hex head, which holds the connector halves together. don't recall if there are open terminals in there. good luck

hope this helps

mark

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the info.

It's actually right on top. I went back to this in the morning with a fresh mind, and found that pretty quickly. After that the rest was easy.

It's a 10 mm bolt on the top. That contoured part on top in the picture is a plug which pops off to reveal it.

Yay!

Thanks again!
