That’s what they all say in the beginning…
As promised. As you can see, when you find pin 38 there is indeed a black plug in there, it is lightly molded into the connector and needs to be punched out from the connection side. You’ll want to use a 1/16” drill bit if you don’t have pin tools of the proper size. Amazon sells these tools for all various connector work. You want to use. 1/16 drill bit as anything bigger or smaller could damage either the plastic clip that holds the pin in place once inserted, or the rubber grommet on the other side where the plug is. The grommet isn’t a terrible loss but it does keep the pins sealed against water, so kind of nice to keep intact. When you insert the drill bit, use the back side in first so the flat surface rests against the bottom of the plug and make sure it’s straight. Then take your hammer of choice and give it a few encouraging taps to break the tiny plastic tabs that are holding the plug in place. You’ll know when it’s broke loose.
Now you can see from the back side of the connector, the grommet is intact and the plug is out. Now you can insert the pin. When you do, make sure the short edge is towards that black plastic clip we saw on the connection side, that’s what gives it that satisfying “click” once the pin is inserted to proper depth. Now put it back together and make it look nice.
