When disconnecting connectors during troubleshooting, the pins must be inspected to make sure they are not the cause of a poor connection.

The three things to look for are bent, corroded, and pushed back pins.

Inspect the male terminals of the connector. If any of the terminals are bent so that they will not easily mate with the other side of the connector, then the pin must be replaced.

Inspect both the male and female terminals for corrosion which can cause a poor electrical connection within the connector. If any corrosion is evident on the pins, then the corroded pins must be replaced.

Inspect both the male and female terminals for pins that can not be making contact because they are pushed back in the connector. To repair, push the pin into the connector body from the back of the connector. Make sure the terminal locks into place. If the terminal will not lock in place, then replace it.

Refer to the connector repair section for the specific connector in question.
