Okay, that one's mine & the pics are in reverse order.
That connector, A1J1, needed re-pinning as it was causing resets & A2J2 to get real hot. I read on here about using a jeweler's screwdriver to release the tang. Tried putting it under the pin & the corner of the housing snapped off. Before I started, while I was looking for anything else to use, I found the rubber bands in my toolbox. They hold the broccoli bunches & I guess I figured the may come in handy.
Quoted from ForceFlow:While that can work for some connector styles where the tang is exposed, screwdrivers are too big for this style of connector.
You'll want this extraction tool: https://www.greatplainselectronics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=11-03-0016
The rubber band fit perfectly. I used the broken bit & after getting the pin positioned correctly, it never reset.
I'll have to order the housing from G-P-E since the edge connectors are obsolete. I'll also get the housings for the P.S. Does this work on those? I'm going to take the P.S. to the local electronic shop, Nutech, & have the pins replaced, but I'm leaning towards that terminal removal kit 72Devilz limked to.
