Good stuff. That Youtube fix should hold up too, especially with LEDs. Might help the new guys if they could see the crimping process. A short segment of video is repeated around 3m45s.

Have the same G.I. issue on the to-do list for my beater Taxi, plus some old operator hacks to deal with.

EDIT: You inspired me to work on mine. Found J6, the G.I. input, was also bad. Using the Molex 08-52-0113 .156 trifurcon replacement pins since they grab the header pins on three sides (still have incandescent lamps in this old beast).

Nice video thanks for making it.

I tend to replace connectors 1 crimp at a time. This allows me to always know the position of the wire and avoid removing any length as I yank it out of the IDC housing.

After performing a lot ops I find this crimper saves time. It crimps the wire and the insulation at the same time and the ratcheting mechanism holds the crimp in for you while you feed in the wire. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4L8QMW

Thanks again for the video. This will be very useful to many people.
