Warning lights cluster

[Ray Smith]

Hi Folks,
Some advice please, how do I remove wires from back of plastic cluster that pushes into to the back of the warning cluster, where the female bit goes into the male pins there is a tiny side slot. Tried to push a small probe into this thought it may release a barb, but nothing.

Your assumption is correct, you need a very fine and hard "spade" like a small jeweller's screwdriver.

If you're looking to remove pins from the flying female socket, then I believe this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 will do the job. I bought one to sort a dodgy Choke warning connection, but didn't need to use it - assume some corrosion on the pin/ socket which cleaned itself off with removal/ replacement.

Thanks Jonno, Amazon out of stock, I will try Drew`s `spade` way. The problem I have is the on going one that started when I changed PWDA valve. Looking on rear of flying female socket the white cable has fried insulation for about 50/75mm from socket, there is wire showing, the purple/black cable also has some damage, ( the PO had replaced this cable with a blue one) which was a puzzle for a bit, removed part of the covering from loom to see it originally was purple/black. White cable to voltmeter ok, cables on brake light warning to right of dash ok, but I did have a job removing the bulb, it was welded in on the bottom. So still not found reason for problem, may be the head of warning cluster circuit on rear? Can I fit a lead fuse in the white cable as it leaves the flying lead socket to protect the cable?

Ray,
Just got back in. Too tired to look at this now. Will check wiring diagram in the morning. If you PM your tel number I'll call you tomorrow, probably late morning if that suits.
