Was checking engine seen couple burnt bullet connectors
On harness no problems with engine running..Heard corrosion could have caused. Wanted to know can they be replaced without having to replace whole harness with new ones? I've heard could do away with bullet connectors completely but if so would could be used instead?
Thanks for reading
 
Usually on rectifier/regulator. They over heat due to high resistance from bad connections. I replace em with S/S high heat male/female spade connectors I use on 480V heating elements and then put a piece of clear shrink tube.

Thanks for the info. Will try using them thanks for reading my post an replying back to me.
 
I call them bullsh** connectors they're ok for wiring your car stereo but in a water/oil environment with extreme vibration and hi amperage draws they're a cheap alternative to terminal ends.
