what do you call the wire what plugs into your coil lead????

what do you call the wire what plugs into your coil lead?

is it the mail loom or can you just buy it separate?

please help

 

? coil/ht (high tension) lead/plug cap/plug.?

 

you mean the lead from the battery to the coil?

 

im not too sure that what im trying to find out :/

on the end of the ht lead there is 2 metal things sticking out where one wire slides onto each one, but one of mine has snapped
:/

 

He's snapped a coil spade terminal off. He needs a new coil.

 

yeh post a pic up and let us see wut your talking about ... worthless buying something you may not need

 

Two wires, both connecting to 'metal things'? It's one of the low tension terminals of the coil, no question; we just don't know if it's the live or earth terminal.

 

okay its too dar to get a photo on mine atm but basically,

the red arrow shows where the snapped wire slots onto

is the green just a earth and all i need to do it take it out the loom and fit a new wire conecting to the HT and back down to the earth?

 

its not the actual part pointing to what is snapped, its the wire connecting to it

 

ive been looking at the wiring diagrams and its saying the green is just a earth

a bit of confirmation would be great, or help on how replace the wire ect,

its curently just wrapped around the ht coil attm just to get a connection haha

 

If you can see any of the snapped off terminal left on the coil, you might just be able to get a small self-tapping screw to bite into the plastic of the coil and touch the leftover contact. If that works, you can either bare the end of the earth wire and wrap it around the screw, or just bare the ends of a short length of wire, wrap one end around the screw as before and push the other end into the spade terminal and tape it in place.

It's a bit of an emergency bodge, but it will work.

 

LOL YEHAWWWW!! tell em how its done cowboy

 

id

suggest taking the part off and take it into a dealership / motorcycle workshop and "ask for a price" ... they should tell you the part number etc and wut the wire is exactly

 

Green is earth on most Peugeots and Chinese scooters.

 

If it's just the wire that's snapped, get down to your local Halfrauds / Motor World / Car parts shop and buy some spade terminals - you can buy them in a little pack that already have the cover moulded on. Bare the end of the wire, twist it and push it into the new terminal, then carefully crimp it with the cutting part of a pair of pliers (or use the posh crimping tool if you have one).

Job done.

 

thanks for the help!

shall get round to doing it soon

 

check out the £shops first or your local iron mongers ... wouldnt waste cash going to halfords when they will supply you with the same product for £10 extra lol

i am also goni state the obvious and say ... make sure you replace the wire with the same grade of wire that was there before

ive gave advice to people before and thought "they're smart enough to know" and they end up screwing up and trying to pin the blame on me for not telling them 100%

 

Umm wot?
You want to take out the entire length of the wire and replace it because a spade connector has broke?
Just cut off the broken one, strip the wire and crimp on a new one.

 

There should be no cutting and replacing of wires needed. Just cut off the broken connector, strip back about half an inch of the wire, twist the copper strands together, push them into the new spade connector and crimp it. That's it, it really is that simple.
