HD Deutsch Electrical Connectors (A short video explanation)

[MDO]

This is a free video from the guys at Fix My Hog. It covers Deutsch electrical connectors on newer Harleys. Hope it helps someone.

1 tip I learned working at McDonnell Douglas in the wiring harness assembly lab was the pins insert much easier with a small amount of alcohol on the rubber. It evaporates very quickly.

Thanks.

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my Freewheeler purchase. Here is my son & I at the CA HD dealership.

I have learned a lot & try to give back.​

Yes Jack. He is friends with the owner, who is a great guy. He gave me a very good deal. He also did the 1,000 mile service on July 5th, 2017 before I headed back to St. Louis.

Dis connect the battery when ever working on electrical, don't forget to put the weather pac seal on, don't force the connectors, if it does not snap together with an audible click re check every thing. Another good find Michael, this should be a sticky

I had seen several posts where people were having problems with the connectors.

I went out and tested it on the aft lighting connection under the seat & it worked well. I will need it when I wire my LED tail light.

I like a bit of dilectric grease on the pins and the lock tabs
