Removing socket terminals
Warning! Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury.
1. Disconnect battery.
2. See Figure A-14. Disengage slots (1) on secondary lock (2) from tabs (3) and remove secondary lock.
Figure A-14. Delphi 800 metri-pack sealed main fuse housing: remove socket terminals: 1. Secondary lock slot; 2. Secondary lock; 3. Tab; 4. Insert flat blade into opening
3. Insert flat blade of pick or small screwdriver into opening (4) until it stops.
4. Tug on cable to pull socket from connector housing. Pivot the pick toward the terminal body to release the latch if necessary.
5. Repeat to remove remaining socket terminal.
Note. The battery positive cable and power wire for the main fuse are crimped together at the starter ring terminal. Replace both as an assembly if either requires replacement.
Installing socket terminals
1. See Figure A-15. Carefully bend tang outward away from the terminal body.
