Electrical Connector (Bullet Type) for Instrument Cluster

The originals will slide right out of the connector. I wrap tape around the connector so the wires cant come out and accidently get placed in the wrong ports. I use white tape and transfer/repeat the key position to the outside too. I can see and feel how the connector goes on.
Crimp and solder terminal.

I didn't think about soldering the wires to the connector as a secondary, but it certainly makes sense. I think I will give it a try. Thanks again.
