The March 2017 issue of Phillips Industries‘ Qwik Tech Tips features tips for replacing a J560 7-way plug.
According to Phillips, the J560 7-way connection can become loose over time from coupling and uncoupling, which wears down the pins. Worn out connection pins can cause intermittent or permanent lighting failure. If the socket has split pins, one option to resolve a weak connection is to spread these pins.
However, that is only a temporary solution. The alternative, if the cable is still in good condition, is to replace either the plug insert, or the entire plug, if the end goal is to avoid the additional cost of an entirely new cable assembly.
Phillips offers seven steps for replacing the plug. To read each one, please CLICK HERE.
