I had to remove the pin with the Red wire from the Metra connector, but I broke the pin in the process. Now I need to buy a new connector, but I'll have plenty of spare pins.
I hope the following cross section diagram of the X1 connector can help:
____ ____ Top interlock clip
| |__| |_
____| |____
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
| 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
|_----------___---------___| Flat bottom of shell.
I believe the #13 wire is a Gray color.
#14 pin is NOT used or there is no wire there.
# 15 wire is White
#16 wire is Dark Green
Note: I drew the diagram and I see it as correctly drawn in my edit post, but it is not viewing correctly on the your submit.
Did the Metra connector have a white plastic pin in it? Just pull that out and the wires and pins become lose. Did you pull the broken pin out in the wrong direction? I can not remember which way they came out.
