I began work on new wiring loom placement today. One of the wire leads came out of the wiper motor plug connector. After a good bit of gentle fiddling with it, I determined that the spade like terminals inside the plastic plug must 'snap' into place to lock them in. It seems impossible to remove the spade terminal from the plastic plug to re-crimp the wire without ruining the plug. I was thinking about pushing in the wire as far as I could and then epoxy the base for permanency....anything wrong with that thought? Is there a better easy home option? Also, the 'ears' on the plug do not allow for penetration through the hole in the cowl assembly 'fire wall' opening. Can one end be ground off to allow passage into the engine bay? Is there any reason they would be necessary? There doesnt appear to be any coresponding clip on the wiper motor plug recepter end.
