OMG!!! Martin, I just wondered if this type of video existed. I did the injector replacement job yesterday, broke some connectors. Now I know this is the way to go. Thank you.
Well, geez. After a day of looking for the correct size female metal actual pin, these are ev6 injectors and just buy some pigtails online. The learning curve of not being an experienced tech is tough some times. Well, thanks for making this video so I can now move forward. Bravo!
All the Do-it-yourself videos this was probably the best one I have ever seen I'm not kidding you some people put garbage on here this guy actually did at true to cut video of how to replace your pigtail on a fuel injector perfect my only problem is i drive a Ford f250 v10 6.8 and a couple of the pigtails are badd towards the back of the motor and I'm not sure how i even have Room to go back there and do that that is going to be a real pain in the you know what anyways great video....
Id think the engineers would have thought about this. Should use free floating clips so when they break its not the connector housing . splicing is a pain. Thanks for the info
I absolutely know nothing about wiring, but just wondering, is it safe to do this? Would doing this causes higher probability of having a short in the future?
Hey Martin , I found a set of those heavier duty ev6 connectors for my 02 Dakota 4.7 rebuild and in the process of soldering them in. One question, does this really change the resistance enough to throw codes ? I’ve read some people saying that and others say it’s a none issue if soldered correctly. Thanks again
There is no added resistance or enough to throw any codes I can guarantee you that. I've done a wire tuck on this engine where I had to resolder every fuel injector connector and never had an issue whatsoever.
Thank you, well it is something I do for a living. Like when we were building the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas I soldered over 500 mic lines which is over 1500 wires you tend to get pretty good at it. So I enjoyed soldering instead of using any type of solderless splice. If you're able to Tin the wires before you actually join them together this will help make it easier to solder them together
@@levicallis459 yes I think you would be able to. Ill-health if the cider that you use is very fine engage. If you have any flux that will help as well
I got different injectors which require different connectors (not allowing me to match the connectors up when wiring) and my new connectors are not color coded. How do i figure out how to wire?!
So what if the wires are completely different colors, how would you know which is which, you said getting the wires crossed would damage the injector....
Look at the connector and you'll notice that there is a number 1 and 2 for each wire on the connector. Match that up with the one you're changing. You may have to look very carefully at the connector to find those numbers but they're there.
thanks! do all connectors work with all fuel injectors/ are the styles all interchangable or will some style connectors just not fit on the injector? thanks!
I got new injector connectors with pig tails, both wires are white. My factory connectors have black and red wires. How would you attach the new one with 2 white wires to the black and red wires? Thanks in advance
did you have any oxidation problems with the solder? Someone was saying with heat and vibration soldering fuel injector connectors can be a problem in the long run
Anthony Merc I've never had a problem with any of my soldering having any type of corrosion or the solder failing. If the connection fails at the solder joint then it was improperly soldered (cold solder joint)
Dustin Mittel I've been working on it for a week or so I hope to have it out this weekend. I went and bought another silencer box so I could show you all how it's done so I'm basically building another one. With some revision changes.
I don't believe splicing is bad as long as the splice is soldered. Best case would be to remove the terminal from the broken connector and reinserted into a new connector.

Hey Martin, Sorry about posting this here. Haven't found a good way to contact you yet. :) I wanted to ask if you have a ground wire going to your Alternator? If you do, are you able to take a picture of where it is located? If you can send me a picture if you have one that would be great.
Ok. Thanks. Thought I might have missed something when connecting everything back up. Looks like I just have a bad voltage regulator then. I was hoping for something more simple. :) Not like its hard changing the PCM but I would rather not have to.. Have a great day.
Chris Ogaz Yes you should only have the positive cable coming from the battery. Then one connector on the back of the alternator with two wires. I hope it's not your voltage regulator because that is inside the ECM. Those are considered a very good and not prone to going out
I guess it’s up to viewers to guess what the hell he is working on.Nothing in the title.Nothing in the description.Only when he finally talks and verbally says make /model do I know what his video Is about. Wasted time waiting on it
Obviously you didn't bother to even look to see if there was a description because it most certainly tells you what's going on. Thank you for watching.
