Re: Wiring connectors

When using modern insulated spade style or bullet connectors, I always make the female side the "hot" side. So in the event anything ever gets disconnected, it provides some short protection against grounding. So the male (exposed) side is "dead" when disconnected.

Most of my Douglas connectors disintegrated upon disassembly of my original harness, so I replaced them with insulated bullet connectors as needed.

Also, since I pretty much had my entire car apart, and replaced the entire harness, I added a few couple new bullet connect/disconnect points in places that made sense, to help with future disassembly/reassembly.

For example, between the front parking light housing and the front end harness\junction blocks. With as many times I have had the grill off the car, this has made it much easier.
