Cut as close to the old harness as possible to maintain the length of your wires.

Strip pickup and ground wire insulation leaving 6mm (1/4”) of bare wire.
Be Precise
Twist loose strands of wire between your fingers to create a firm tip.

Use a fine screw driver to press and hold the connector button above the wire slot.
For a full guide on using the solder-less connectors, check below

Insert the wire to the correct slot at a 45° angle.
Release the button and the wire should hold firmly.
Test the wire by giving it a gentle pull before moving on to the next wire.
