Dec 10, 2022 Replaced right wing connector Category: Wings
I repeated the left wing wire ID process on the right wing, removed all of the AMP connectors and installed a new blue AMP connector box. I didn't label the wires, instead I made marks on the wire to indicate what pin # on the connector each pin goes in. The KIA has the actual wire number. I couldn't remount the connector, though because I need the MS35206-218 screws, which I've ordered from Van's. Van's says it's taking more than a week now to fill orders. Should've ordered from Aircraft Spruce.

BTW, the #1 wire (ground) pulled out of the pin when I was removing it. Bad crimp. Good thing I did all this. I had to order new pins from -- you guessed it -- Van's.

All that (sort of) done, I turned attention to the service bulletin to replace the Molex connector on the HIC module (SB-00058). I didn't do much because the kerosene heater was overwhelming with fume so I removed the ECU (which is step one), saved the hardware (taped it to the ECU), and will continue the work tomorrow, perhaps.
