and no joke, 1 hair dryer, 60 sec and plug slid right out.
would have never though of heating electrical connections, something about the compound used at factory turns to concrete when cold.
GREAT TIP !!
I will have to remember that one when I un plug my harness.
Is that the only ones that need heat?
