location of speed sensor wire

Strip back the wire and put solder on it so it is stiff, then slide it in... I do this all the time when doing alarms and such.

thanks for the tip! i put about 20lbs of pull on the wire and it wouldn't budge. hopefully it will be ok.

Man, that is a great tip when working with those tiny pins, why didn't I think of that???(huh)

When I did this to my Mazda5 to install the speed sensor wire pin for the Nav, the wire would bend before the pin was inserted completely, and was very frustrating.

Good Tip cornflaykes!

Now, I tried to connect a speed sensor wire for my turbo timer to this depopulated connector. I still was not able to pick up anything. What is the difference between signal used for audio navigation that seems to be working for people & a turbo timer signal?
