Reply to "need suggestions for engine/tender wire plug replacement, t-1 6-18006"

You might be able to save that plug by taking a 1/16" drill bit in a pin vise or an old chuck you can rob from a drill and turning by hand drill through the back side of the plug but stop short of drilling into the connectors inside the plug. You should then be able to push the connectors out the front of the plug. Cut the wires off and push them into the proper hole till they stick out the front side of the plug. Then with a very fine pointed tip soldering iron solder the wires back on to the connectors. Pull the connectors back into the place by pulling on the wires. Put a drop of CA on each wire where they exit the back side of the plug to hold them in place. Thought a couple of pix may help. Can't wait to stuff that big tender full of TMCC j
