1–13. EPC CONNECTORS (FORD 16-WAY BULKHEAD)
A. Connector/Terminal Repairs
B. Terminal Removal (refer to Figure E–14, View A)
1. Use Remover Tool J 38125-13 or needle nose pliers to remove the secondary lock that is retaining
the terminals.
2. Insert Remover Tool J 38125-13 beside the terminal to release the locking lever for the individual
terminal being serviced. Pull on the wire at the rear of the connector to remove it while keeping the
locking lever disengaged.
3. If replacing the terminal, cut the terminal between the core and insulation crimps to minimize wire
loss.
C. Terminal Crimping
1. Carefully strip insulation 6.5 mm ± 0.5 (0.26 ± 0.02 inch). Unless insulation crimp is overtight,
Automatic Wire Stripper J 35615 will remove insulation and crimp from old terminal without
damaging wire.
2. Place the core crimp portion of the terminal on the bed of the designated crimping anvil and
squeeze crimper enough to hold terminal from dropping (Figure E–14, View B).
3. Position wire core in terminal and squeeze the crimper tool to complete the core crimp. Be sure to
orient the terminal so that it is properly aligned with the terminal cavity in the connector.
4. Position insulation crimp of terminal on proper anvil so that the entire insulation crimp area and a
portion of the terminal between the core and insulation crimp areas are supported by the anvil.
Complete the insulation crimp.
5. Push the wire through the slot in the connector until it clicks into position.
6. Reinstall the secondary lock by pushing it into the front of the connector until it clicks into
position.
