Whoops!

So I tilted my fuel tank a little too far back and pulled a wire out of a plug (from the fuel level sensor, I think).
Is there a way to get this wire back into this plug myself or do I need to buy a new one?

 

[AZMike]

a tiny eyeglass screwdriver should release that terminal, open it and resolder the wire.

Alright, thanks! I'll give it a try.

You might try and remove the blue from the green.... and then the little pins out from the blue. They use several types and each 'hold' the wire a little different.... You can definitely fix this with patience...... Maybe post pictures 'for the next time it happens to someone'

Alright, I'll give this a go.
By the way, what is that kind of plug called? I tried to google a fix for this but only came up with answers for 120v household plugs because I couldn't word my search correctly.

Probably should use the words 12V and connector instead of plug.

I've been working on replacing a connector with a burned pin and just now saw this, did you get your connector fixed yet?

That connector appears to be a Sumitomo HX 090 Series connector (2 pin HX .090 Female Connector)
Reference the pictures on these two suppliers websites:

Eastern Beaver - SMHX (easternbeaver.com)​

Cycle Terminal - Sumitomo HX .090 - Connector and Terminals (cycleterminal.com)​

​

On both of these sites it is the reddish color connector. You can order extra pins for this series of connector from either of these suppliers.
If you need a crimper that will work with these pins, see the Cycle Terminal page and scroll on down to the bottom.

See the links below for a couple of videos on removing pins from Sumitomo connectors.
They are not using the same connector, but they should help you figure out how to release the pins on yours.
