Exclamation E/Fan Harness problem PIN related.

Long story short I got the Nelson E/fan harness and installed it and everything but here’s what happened. Installed the # 42 pin in the Harness, but when I was double checking everything. I pulled the 42 pin wire to make sure it was seated but snap the wire came out of the pin. I need something to extract the pin out of the 42 slot what can I use? Is there any kind of tool to extract pins? Thanks

use the absolute smallest allen wrench you can find and push it threw the opposite way...

Don't you need a terminal release tool for that? I'm trying to think, are those micro 64 terminals? If so those are all sorts of fun. I'm not even sure what the release tool for those is. As far as just trying to shove it out of the connector which isn't right but may work goes, a small paper clip may work.

I would try a small piece of welding wire, or I have used the tool they give you for cleaning out the end of a torch, that works well too, those are a pain man. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the ideas guys. I tried most of what you suggested nothing worked.
It seems to be locked in the harness by something.
