Quest Problem

Alright guys, this is the deal, my solenoid quick disconnect wire popped out of the plastic connecter. So i was like OK...just press that back in, but while doing so the other wire broke, so i guess this is more like a question....Can I solder the solenoid wires minus those plastic connecters back together to get a working gun again, or should i just call FEP, because i know it's not a huge fix, but I'd rather do what's better. Thanks for the help Quest Family!!


Can and will post pics shortly...

u could solder the wires together... it will work... or u can get a new connector and solder it on.... its up to u...

Don't solder the wires to the board. If you mess up and get solder across the two contact points you'll ruin the board and need a new one.

If the wires just popped out, the best answer is to call FEP. They might send you a new one ASAP if you promise to send back in the old one so you can get up and shooting.

I was not sayin solder it to the board... just solder it to the wires on the harness....

that's what i am also saying, the two prongs are now shown on the noid, im just going to solder some 18 gauge wires to those, which will lead to the pre-existing wires coming from the 9v/noid wires, colors matching....which is what im double checking..

Oh, if the wires just came off the noid you can just solder them back on. I thought you were talking about the plug that hooks onto your board :P

I saw a guy solder them to his board and of course he got too much solder in there and bridged the contacts. Toasted his board as soon as it turned on.

ok, hmm ^that doesn't sound like fun, but I'm pretty sure I'll get it....thanks guys
