Hi I'm new here. New to forums in general, actually. Anyways wanted to share a way to repair a broken connector blade on an rb coil that will get you by until you get a new one. Mine broke at the power wire blade on the coil itself for no apparent reason when I went to re-plug it, but the lol nub that was left still ohm'd out at 0.00 as it should, so I just dremeled away a little bit of the plastic around the prong, and soldered on a wire, and did so with the signal and ground wires as well. On the other ends of the wire, I crimped on the smallest blade connectors I could find(you may have to dremel them a lil to make them fit) and inserted them in the coil plug connectors and electrical taped them to it. Be sure to test it for 0.00 ohms at the end of the wires to confirm you got a good solder connection and make sure you didn't let the solder touch from one wire to the other cuz then you're on gonna have bigger issues lol. I know this would be a rare issue, but this is an easy to rig, temporary fix if its your daily driver and you have no other way to go if this happens to you. :dblthumb:
