transmission wire hornest
Guys,
While I was installing my Banks Transcomm, I pulled out the wiring hornest on the driverside of the truck and notice the hornest appears tobe dirty. How do I go about cleaning this connector? If this connector isn't clean properly,will this cause any hesitation in the vehicle?

I'm assuming that you mean "wiring harness" If so then your best bet is to use some electrical contact cleaner. Make sure to read the label to make sure that it is safe dor plastics. IIRC Lectra Clean will do the trick.

Sorry, don't want to be the spelling police tonight but I couldn't help myself.

Thanks Jim. I feel kinda bad though. I was trying to go light on it but he logged off relatively quickly. Hope he's not mad at me. I didn't mean to offend him, just having some fun.

Zavierbr, I see you have not posted since this thread, and I feel bad if it because of me. I apologize if I offended you, and just want to say, do like most do and ignore me. I try to help folks as much as I can, but I also have fun from time to time. C'mon back buddy.

Don't cheat with spell check man - that's the only way we can tell who has been 
and posting.
On another note, I had a w_hore in my truck once and a nest once. But never a w_horenest.......
All in good fun Mike, I can't see anyone getting bent out of shape over it - he's probably just busy with Christmas and all and not online.....
