Changing the ETM connector-
The connector housing (9441564) is numbered 1-6, front and back, for the terminals.
The car wiring harness color of the wire connected to the terminals are:
1 - blue w/red tracer
2 - green w/yellow tracer
3 - white
4 - green
5 - brown
6 - green w/black tracer
The replacement terminals (30656679) come with a foot of wire (red w/black tracer) attached. They also have a little silicone seal around each wire that is captured by the crimp on the connector.
Cut off the old connector of along with 1/2" of the vehicle wiring harness.
Map the wire colors going into the back of the connector.
Cut 6 pieces of shrink tubing and slide them onto the new wires.
Solder the new connectors to the existing wiring harness.
Slide the shrink tubing over the solder joints and shrink it in place.
Mark the terminal end of each new wire with a strip of colored tape that matches the original wiring harness.
Wire pairs 2 and 3, and 5 and 6 are twisted pairs. You will see this when you cut off the old connector. Twist wires 2 and 3 around each other with about 1 and 1/2 turns per inch. Twist 5 and 6 around each other in the same way.
Insert the new terminals into the back of the connector. The latches are towards the outside of the housing.
Tidy up the loose wires with some of that split black flex loom.
