    If I did not have bad luck I would not have any at all!
    Installed my Meso Custom Stage 1 kit this evening and all went way to smooth. Upon test brake light on passenger’s side would not work but tail light would on same bulb. Started with LED bulb swap eliminating bulb as issue. Then found the above loose wire when checking plug.

    Is this fixable by me??

    Does this plug come apart in any way or is it sealed up tight?

    I can see inside where the wire goes in connector but without it coming apart I do not believe I can get anything in there to crimp the connection to the wire.

    As always I thank all of you in advance for any assistance. Just do not want to have Stew send me out another one. I can tell by all the post here that his stuff is real top shelf and I do not want for my normal poor luck making me that customer he dreads to buy something from him. Lol
    He is sending me out a new LED for the Puddle Pods because I got probably the only bad one and now probably the only one with a wire loose. Lmao

    So any experienced insight is welcome.

    p.s. The tails are really nice though!

    Yes. Take your time. Good ligtlhting. Magnifying glass. Small pliers. Pull reseptical out bulb end. Feed wire thru. See how it was attached. May have to look what Meso did on the one beside it solder or friction. Fix it back up like Meso had it. Put it back together. You will have light!!!!

    Usually the pins in a pigtail connector are removable, with small tools and the proper know-how. After that it’s just a matter of re-sautering the wire to the pin, and re-inserting it into the connector

    may be easier to just get a new connector though

    The connector has a locking bar in the front. Pull on it but do not remove it. Look very close and you'll see a slot under the terminal. YOu'll need a very thin n flat "tool" to release the terminal. Pull from the back. Since the wire came out, push the terminal with another thin flat tool. They come out the back.
    The replacement terminal is a female 090/2.3II sealed type.
    get it here:https://www.corsa-technic.com/item.php?item_id=349
    Purchase the RED seal also. https://www.corsa-technic.com/item.php?item_id=577
    Stop reading from hypothetical posters...:rofl:

    Thank you all for the expert advice but seems way too complicated for the OLD rookie with bad eyes. Thought maybe it came apart(the plastic molded cover) to expose the metal connector so I could re- crimp it or something like that. Sounds like I will have to have Stew ship me a new one to replace the defective one since it is all brand new out of the box.

    Thanks again all of you. Being part of your community gives me the support I rely on to take on these projects and hopefully learn a lot in the process. If you ever need my expertise of putting your Tacos out if (God forbid)they catch fire or need the Jaws of Life to disassemble one around you while in the seat...... I got that covered with 30 + yrs. Lol
