I'm trying to do the fan mod that Tim Nash does. I'm having a problem that I hope someone can help me with.
I know that in the molex the fan wire that you have to connect the wire to should come out of the molex connector when you slide a thin object down to push down the clip that is locking the terminal in place.
I've tried many time to try to get the terminal clip out without success, I didn't want to ruin the terminal clip or pull the wire out of it so I was about to give up. Then I thought of a work around to test it.
I took a flat connector cut it a bit thinner and then I slide it into the bottom of the molex connector where the correct wire is, so basically the flat connector is against the terminal and making contact. Then I ran a ground and installed a switch, all of this stuff is temporary just to see if the mod works.
It works fine, so now I have to figure how to get the terminal out so I can solder the wire to it , that option is out of the question for me I have tried so many times to release the terminal the way it is supposed to be done but it isn't coming out.
So I thought if i can use this flat connector and somehow slide it into the bottom of the wire for the fan so it is in contact with the fan wire and terminal. I'd like to find a way to do the mod with the flat connector but make it so it has a good connection and won't pull out.
Does anyone have any ideas.
