Title: NO FAIR!!! headlamp switch connector
Post by: jcassity on January 14, 2013, 10:59:55 PM
i was tinkering around a little while ago, typically when i remove connector like this i tend to ease it up with a stubby flat head screw driver to help it along and up.  I really dislike just yanking on connectors... perhaps thats why this clip is split so you can do **just that.

well, i inserted myflat head from the side to kinda get under the leading edge of the clip and heard an electrical noise inside the switch.  I pull out like WTF!,, upon closer examination,, there are exposed contacts that i was apparently shorting out or bonding together with my flat head screwdriver. 

dono.. i was kinda set back by this and why ford would do such a thing.

heres a pic if you guys havent noticed it yet...........
