Fuel Shut-off electrical connections

Postby cmann250 » Sat Jul 02, 2011 1:08 pm

I finally got the courage up to turn up the fuel screw and because i took the throttle bracket off (the one with 2 bolts that go threw the intake horn and 1 down low) and disconnected the 2 blue wires that i assume control the the FSS and when i put it all back together and took a spin, those connections vibrated loose and the truck died. I pushed the top one back on and it was fine.

So my question is there a better solution for those connections than that "blade" style? Or would a new connector solve my problem?
Sorry for the novel, just a newb trying to learn

the main suggestion for that problem is to take the 2 wires and twist them together... then crimp them together with a ring terminal and screw it to one of the the solenoid's terminals.

I replaced them with ring terminals. I got tired of them getting dirty or falling off.

So did you unbolt the blades and bolt the eye in? Is that what you mean?
