There are molex crimping tools but I usually crimp carefully without specialty tools. Just buy extra connectors and practice :)
there’s a great YouTube video on crimping similar connectors without tools:
1. Honestly I don't remember how I exactly got to the part number, I think I started my search with the connector itself -- and found that on Molex's website (whom I knew is the OEM manufacturer for these). The pins were listed as compatible with the connector. I'd try taking down all the...
Anyone know the Max amp draw on these? Can’t find it in the manual.
did anyone wire with a solenoid/relay instead of kill switch, what’d you use?
did anyone wire this to factory aux switches?
thanks
I ended up using the flat bit. But honestly I think any thin precision screwdriver will work, the key is to press on the correct side. My original image was incorrect, need to press on the opposite side of the pin.
Ordered a simple Amazon pin tool kit and got the wires out. Note that my initial picture was incorrect, the release is on the other side of the yellow circle.
Looks like here is what Molex recommends for removal -- got to get under the pin into the tiny whole.

I am doing the Aux Switch install on my JT and of course follow your work here on the JL forums. As many others, I am stuck at step 20 of depinning the orange wire (#13) from the existing gray harness in the passenger footwell. After a search I saw people state they used needles, pin tools and...
I agree -- but i broke the orange connector and several of the others (the ones that go into the switch itself). So finding and installing new connectors seems like a necessary step for me. I get why you'd want to tap the orange if that's the only consideration.
Is there something I am missing? I clip the old connector, attach the new connectors, and solder the wire to the new connector. This seems clean and OEM.
Ok, for future reference i think i figured it out. I got the technical documents for one of the components from the Aux Install switch kit -- Molex 334710201 (https://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0334710201_CRIMP_HOUSINGS.xml). In the technical documents it says that...
I considered tapping but I broke the orange wire connector and a couple of the others (the ones used for the plug). I didn’t see any posts of anyone replacing the terminals, am I missing the post?
Tia!
Hi all! I have a JT but figured I’d ask the JL group since not many people have done the Aux switch install on JT yet. While snaking my wires through the grommet on the passenger side I damaged the wires on my harness (the orange one that plugs into the grey module/socket on the passenger side...
