How to take electrical plugs apart. - HankAz - 01-26-2020
Sorry guys and gals but I have a broken wire on my plug for my crankcase sensor and I can't seem to be able to get the little bugger apart. The little pins should slide out but I can't seem to make it happen. Or better yet can I buy a pigtail to splice in?

This goes for oil press, exh gas press, VGT actuator, crankcase press & EGR temp on ISXs. The keyways and pin numbers are different but the principle is the same.

I just replaced the wires on my exhaust gas pressure sensor. These are the connectors that plug right in to the socket. I cut the barrel (crimp) connector off and soldered my wires together. This is something that should be done on all sensor wire repairs. Crimp connectors are very prone to having poor connections and sending faulty or wrong signal voltages from the sensor. Always solder your connections.
I found these easily at my local Kenworth shop. Cummins will also carry them. I paid $7 a wire.

How do you get the blue piece out? Just pull it with needle nose or is there a clip that releases it?

Ya, just pry it up out. It has clips in the middle that hold it in place.
