connector for ignition switch, 314-8

[John c 82]

the ignition switch has been struggling to engage the solenoid for a few months now, figured it was time for a new one, inspection shows signs of excess heat at the battery lead, which was probably due to poor connection due to corrosion/rust over it's lifetime. It kinda fell apart once I started handling it, can one of y'all tell me which way the crimp on connector is supposed to come out of the connector body ?    

 

thanks

Take it to a NAPA store.

 

You should be able to slide a thin blade down alongside the terminal to release it.

There is a tab on the connector that needs to be pushed in, then the terminal will come out of the back of the plug. 

 

A pic of the connector to help you out and one source for new connectors.

So does he take the whole tractor there or just rip out the wiring harness and take that? 

 

Another option...

This video will show you how to remove and replace the Packard 56 terminals. You can buy them at NAPA or any other GOOD auto parts store.

Once I got it cleaned up and blown out, I saw I was fighting with nearly melted plastic too, I was able to finally get it freed up. I've got a stens branded switch coming in Sunday. I'll see if I can source new lock inn crimps locally, if not I'll make do with the basic style I have on hand.

 

Thanks
