How do I get this pin out

Never use those. I write my techs up if I even see them in the building.

No No.

OK, so how are you supposed to do a 3-way splice (basically what it does itself)?

Cut, strip, solder, heatshrink

Anyhow, was just playin', not tring to derail this

No, that's fine. I'd rather learn the right way.

So basically, you use small heatshrink on the individual wires and then put a larger one over the entire "joint"?

You can use a larger one to cover the soldered connection, you won't need to individually cover them.

Alright. I get it.


I'll go this route when I install my HomeLink.

Or use t-taps... quick and easy. Haven't had issues with my setup yet (no rattles/loss in power). The connection is surprisingly good too IMO.
