Weather-Pack

Weather-Pack
A Weather-Pack connector can be identified by a rubber seal at the rear of the connector. This engine room connector protects against moisture and dirt, which could form oxidation and deposits on the terminals. This protection is important, because of the low voltage and amperage found in the electronic systems.

Figure 12 - Weather-Pack Connector Repair:

Refer to Weather-Pack Connector Repair illustration. Use tool J 28742-A, or BT-8234-A to remove the pin and sleeve terminals.
Do not use an ordinary pick or the terminal maybe bent or deformed. Unlike standard blade terminals, these terminals cannot be straightened after being improperly bent.
Make certain the connectors are properly seated and all of the sealing rings are in place when reconnecting leads. The hinge type flap provides a backup, or secondary locking feature for the connector. They are used for added reliability. This flap should retain the terminals even if the small terminal lock tangs are not positioned properly.
Do not replace Weather-Pack connections with standard connections. Instructions are provided with Weather-Pack connector and terminal packages.
