Ok, so I should be about ready to install my navigation in about a week or so. I been toying with an old connector trying to de-pin it so if something happens during my install I'll have the know how right now so I can fix things when the important stuff happens. Anyway I have tried everything, I have tried forcing the pin out with a pick, pushing through the back with a paper clip and well I must not be doing something right. So if anyone has any pointers on how to do this without spending $50 on a kit, I am all ears. Also if someone could at least explain to me how exactly these pins lock into place that would be helpful as well.

Thanks

 

Get a molex pin extractor. Ive got a couple and i think they were like $15 each. The pins push into the connector and then flare out to hold onto the connector.

 

Also some pins require another tool that looks like 4 small picks at the end. I dont have a good way to explain it but gm sells them at their parts shops. SHould be like 10 bucks.

 

Get a really tiny flat head screwdriver and push it out from an angle. There's only one groove in the pin it's real simple.

 

One of these?

and how does it work? do you push through the back where the male pins go in and does it slide ride out?

 

i use these....
