The Rocketman Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 How do I remove this plug? Gotta make some wiring repairs. Won’t slide up or down and not sure how to spread out the clip it slides into. This is the end that's mounted on the frame. You can see a similar unused clip above the plug. Thanks! Link to comment
The Rocketman Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 Gave up for now. Will deal with it later. Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Did you try pressing the tab (red arrow)? Not sure if it is similar to my '19 RT, but it seems like it is. If it is, then you push in with thumb and wiggle it loose (at the tip of the pen.) It may be stuck though. Yours looks a little weathered. Just sayin' Link to comment
The Rocketman Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 I’ll check it out tomorrow when I’m back in front of the bike. The connector at the seat itself looks like yours and that’s already been disconnected. Can’t easily see the frame plug to see if there’s a release tab on it. Might have to remove some plastics (uggggh) to get to it. 1 Link to comment
The Rocketman Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 Got it. Chat later. 1 Link to comment
The Rocketman Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 Got it all sorted. Front heated seat harness was removed, repaired and re-installed today. There is a release pin that once released allows the socket to slide "down" the clip mount, but the release pin is on the bottom so I couldn't see it. I removed one of the front seat rear mounts so my fingers would fit in there, one zip tie, the bracket that holds both the front and rear heated seat harness clips, and just one screw on top of some of the plastics which gave me enough room to remove the mounting bracket so I could flip it over and see how things got released. Not a bad job once you know where things are and how they work. 1 Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Did you twist it slightly to release it? It looks like it could be done that way. Good to know. It appears to be clipped to the bottom of my seat with the same mount as yours is to the frame. Interesting. Link to comment
The Rocketman Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 I tried twisting it with no success. The barbed end of that pin had to be pried to one side. Releasing the harness from the seat was easy. Different type of retainer. 1 Link to comment
