Try crimping the wire again and inspect the crimp before inserting it into the housing. To disconnect a Molex connector (male and female connection), simple press down on outside clip and pull the connectors apart. The power connectors have hooks that allow the connectors to latch into the connector housing. Once the crimped wire has been inserted into the housing, it will be difficult to remove. However, there is a method of removing the wire from the housing without damaging the power connector. Part 3: Removing Wires with Crimped Power Connectors from a Housing Since there are two hooks keeping the connectors in place within the housing, they will need to be pushed back to release the wires. In this tutorial, we are using flat header pins that are used to release the hooks. This is completed by pushing the header pin into the thin gap between the metal power connector and the plastic on both sides of the housing. Once the header pins push back the hooks, Molex connector pin removal is simple, and the wire can slide out of the housing by pulling back on it without causing any damages to the power connector.

Removing the wires without damaging the connectors is a simple method of enabling users to switch the polarity of actuator wires without needing to obtain additional Molex connectors or Molex housing.
