Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion (Part 4): THE WIRING CONVERSION LIFE HACK! The BEST Way!

What happens here

Carefully pry open the transmission harness connector using a small pick or jeweler's screwdriver. This involves unclipping the outer shell and then using the pick to release the white inner piece that secures the pins. This white piece is usually held by small clips on the top and bottom. Once the white piece is removed, the individual pins can be manipulated.

Goal: Access individual pins within the transmission connector

Tools and materials

  • Small Pick / Jeweler's Screwdriver — Prying open and releasing clips on the connector

what we're looking at is this like that and it says remove pins s white and brown see they're marked on here s on the very end and then uh u brown insert brown wire into position s so you just move one over um to get pins off that's a bit of an interesting thing that's something that took me a while to learn as i didn't know you could do this but we're going to take apart this connector and get a tiny little pick to lift out these itty-bitty little click lock things for the wires to come out of their holder and you can actually take connectors apart and move things around once i figured this out it was kind of a game changer so uh let's figure out how to get this connector torn apart and get started getting this thing apart here first you're gonna unclip this little elbow connector right here then you're gonna get to this one and then the matching one on the other side then this whole back piece will come off okay well i got that off it kind of flew off here that was definitely a spider there's a spider nest in the back of this thing ew we're gonna clean that later a little bit closer also this front face here has to come off this white piece see how it's gray in there and then white in front we got to get that off and i am under the impression that it just kind of pops out if i remember correctly so let's pop it out well it does just pop out but you just got to pop it out from the backside uh this white piece is just a rubber seal you can get your pick and kind of work it in there and lift it out you have to pull on a little bit but don't get too aggressive with it or they rip the wires and don't cut any wires with this either it will just come out it just fits snug what you see in there you have the uh little white clip deals there's two on the bottom one here one there and then on the other side those are the clips for the back side of this white cover so i got it dislodged you kind of got to take a couple picks work it around i put one under the edge here to get tension in it and then pop the back two and then to the other side and i also accidentally stabbed myself so we are having fun today let's get this
