Thanks for that, I guess it’s not vital to have them repinned, however I was getting some lit segments on 2 and 3 when it should’ve stayed dark. Jiggling 2,3 and 4 ‘s wires gets activity on them too. Anybody had experience with repinning this style of connector?
You have to jam both sides into the crimp pin unless you use the same IDC style of connector. It can be done in most cases but you might have to not have the insulation into the connector pin so it's a little less secure but will still work.
I generally don't repin system 80 connectors other than on the power supply or if there's a problem somewhere. They don't necessarily *need* to be repinned.

+1 on that. I too re-pin only when and where necessary.

Splice the two wires together then solder one wire off the end of the splice and pin that. Think flux capacitor.
Quoted from kimbleseven:Haha ok that makes sense. What size wire should I use for it?
18 gauge should be fine.
