Been having quite the day here. I take a break from installing a turbo on my daughters car by cutting the lawn. Get the tractor stuck. Use the jeep to pull it out because it lightest. Pull the tractor out and turn jeep off. Go to start it and completely dead and find burnt up fuse holder. Get H2 to pull heep to garage. Turn it off while strapping up the heep. H2 starts fine, stuck in park. Rip console apart and use the solenoid bypass button and get the heep to the garage.

What i found was. The harness snapped all the wires to the connector for the shift solenoid. I thought i could re attach the wires in the connector but they are crimped and i dont have enough wire to butt anything to.

Anyone think i can buy just the connector?

May try to solder and heat shrink but its not going to be easy.

 

How in the **** would those all break? I would take some longer lengths of wire, solder one end to the truck side and use the new longer wires to them place into the connector. The issue will be reusing the pins unless you have new pins. If not, carefully peel the pins away from the short wires and solder the new wires to the old pins. Issue with that is the solder will create a larger diameter and will be difficult to push back into each wire hole on the connector. It can be done, I've done it before but be prepared to be insanely pissed off during the process.

 

Well, thats exactly what i ended up doing. And yes, it pissed me off. Very difficult to get soldered pins back in connector and took a few attempts but got it to work without mangling it to bad. Ended up having to use solid wire. The strand wire just melted every attempt i made. Hopefully i gave it enogh of a loop so that only the stranded part of the harness moves. I knew my time would come eventually. Just one of those sh$t engineering ideas that every h2 will deal with if you own it long enough. By the way. I will be keeping a 1/4 drive rachet with a T15 bit in my console should this happen again. That way i can pull the shifter off, press the button and be on my way. Luckily this didnt happen on the boat launch the other day. I would have gotten my *** kicked. Lol

Needed a couple of beer to get through this part...

I taped up all the butt connectors tight to help keep things in place and shoved the loop to the bottom. Tested while shifting. Seems good.

I had the yellow wire snap. that was fun trying to figure out why I cold not remove my key from the steering column while in park position.

 

how do I remove this connector?

 

Just thinking out loud. I can’t tell you how many times I have been inside that console. Your to be commended because I don’t see any coffee stains. I think, if it were me, I would just try to find a plug on Amazon with the correct number of connectors or crimp on a connector on to each wire end. Just snip the plugs of of the wires and connect then through. I don’t think the design of the connector matters that much. But you will need to be able to disconnect what ever you use in the event you want to remove the center console.

 

2004 hummer h2,,,, omg i have same sort of problem, changed ignition switch and interlock solinoid and there was a green wire unhooked, dont know where it goes, but dear lord its when hay-whacky, wipers wont shut off, washer fluid motor screams, then when ya shut it off, the red battery light stays on so have to unhook battery every time i park, and hook it back up when i need to go somewhere in it,,,, got on ebay to buy new harness pre-wired so all i would have to do is splice it to original wires and the wires are all white or grey, i need the color coded just like original so i can know where they go,,, you guys are soldering them, theres no way i can do that, so does anybody know if there are out there for sale already wired with the green, yellow, green and black, and pink wires,?

 

I forget what year they corrected this problem, but my 07 has plenty of slack in the wiring harness.

I think the best option for you is to contact various H2 salvage yards and ask them for the shifter harness wire connector (whatever you want to call it) from an 07 H2? This way all you have to do is connect/splice the wires into your current wire loop.

Here's a link to multiple H2 salvage vendors:

oh my gosh,,,,, thats a awesome idea, thank you so much , i have been so dang flustered, i didnt even think about a salvage place, thank you a million, !!!
