I read a lot of reviews and I usually start with the negative and read others as well. After reading the reviews I was a bit concerned about ordering this item. After receiving the item, I'm glad I thought the reviews weren't up to par. Pros: Installation is easy and follows the instructions exactly. I mention this because I read several reviews that said otherwise. Yes, "You must remove the white portion of the connector by unscrewing the three screws to remove the connector from the bracket." This is necessary so that you can connect the wire to the connector, and THIS SHOULD BE DONE FIRST BE, along with removing the clamp (two pieces of metal and two screws) around the black connector holder. Yes, you must next thread the wire through the black retainer BEFORE stripping/attempting to connect to the connector. Yes, "You need to strip the shield or insulation off the wire." It may not be obvious to a beginner, but you can't without a wire stripper (knife...or other cutting tool, like a sharp knife for advanced users). make proper wire-to-plug contact. Yes, "You should leave the wire exposed about 1/2 inch"... Again, this is to make good contact. Yes "You will need about 1 to 1.5 inches of insulated wire total so you can put one wire on one pin and the other on the other. Sufficient wires are required in the connector itself. Yes.” That polarized plug. Basically, for beginners, one of the metal prongs on the plug is larger and prevents you from inserting the plug into the outlet one way. I mention it because of the comments made. No, you do NOT need to visualize which of the pins is larger through the hole in the pin (except for connecting the common white wire). Rather look at the width or size of the pen. The polarized pin MUST NOT be rounder than the pin. On this plug, it is straight but wider than the other pin. Yes "IMPORTANT... IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN THREE WIRES YOU HAVE THE WRONG PLUG. OTHERWISE the white wire is usually referred to as ground. This wire needs to be connected to a larger or wider pin. The other wire you have is usually black but may be a different color (but if hot wire) attaches to a smaller or narrower pin.To be sure, you should look at how the wire attaches to the connector you removed.If you are more experienced , you can use a multimeter to help, or have a licensed electrician (or experienced person) do the wiring if you are unsure and remove the plug) This is most likely why you chose this particular one connector type. And with a pull wire I think bulky is the best choice anyway. If you've worked with fork swaps the above would be way beyond mentioning out, but as people have provided incorrect information and comments I felt it necessary to mention it.
