KRX3 TMP Connectors

[Bob DeHaney]

I removed my KRX3 to install a new filter.  My problem is, I can't re-insert one of the TMP connectors. It simply doesn't seat.  I've inspected the Tip and it looks OK.

I'm 80 and don't have super hand strength, but the first connector went in normally.

Any suggestions?

You don't need a lot of strength to do it! If it doesn't go in, probably
the tip isn't going into the socket.  Check to see that  the tip is
parallel to the shield portion of the connector. Make sure you are
putting it in straight. Don't try to force it -- when you have it lined
up right, it should go in.
Good luck.
