The transformer to siren connector seems to be a bit of a loose fit. Is it supposed to click in place? I'm using electrical tape on the joint.

Unfortunately I have not been able to install it. It has been way too cold. I wish I could be more of assistance for you. Jason

Hello Frank,The connector doesn't click in place, but the fit is usually snug. If you still see metal when you connect it, go ahead and wrap it in electrical tape.Nathanielwww.FortressSecurityStore.com

Just snap it into place. You have to apply just a little pressure for the two prongs to snap in.

Yes, there's a problem - maybe yours is about like what I went through. When I tried to click the units together, they wouldn't click in all the way and wouldn't stay together. So, I pushed them in as far as I could and wrapped them tightly in duct tape to hold them together. It's worked since then. I also had to duct tape the shield on the bottom to stay on. Mary

You might be putting it together incorrectly. The longer incline should be toward the open part of the connector and the back of the contact has a much smaller tooth that snaps when the contact is pushed in all the way. This small tooth hooks over the front edge of that flat spring that is part of the connector body (there should be an obvious sharp click when it snaps over that front edge). The only things I can think of that would interfere with the connectors mating would be 1) the contact pushed in upside down so it doesn't latch over the front edge of the spring, or 2) the contact not pushed all the way in from the back so it is laying on top of the spring instead of being latched over the front edge of it. You might also have to press the spring down a little from the front of the connector to get the contact to slide in from the back when the contact is right side up. Good luck.

Sometimes the connector is not pushed in all the way...it actually has to be clicked in. Also, the button needs to be held down a bit

I took a small flathead screwdriver and carefully pried the socket from the wiring clip. It popped right out, and the new one pushed on easily. You can see how it matches up. Just be careful to do it gently so you don't break it off. Mine was a perfect fit, so you shouldn't have any problem.

Short answer - yes. When using this particular connector, make sure, as you tighten the sleeve while threading it, check to be sure you have seated the plug on the socket. There are points on each one and they need to nest. Very important - with temperature changes, this connector can come loose if you just finger tighten it. After you do this - ALWAYS take a pair of slip joint pliers and apply a LITTLE torque to bind the threads. Just enough to cinch things. You will be glad you did this. Make this a habit and avoid heartaches with blown finals from intermittent loss of ground on the output of your radio.

It is a hard connect but when it's together it stays together. Make sure it's lined up right & I put one end on the floor & kept pushing down until it clicked. I have not had to use duct tape. Good luck.

Mine is very tight, no worries about it being knocked loose. If your comes out too easily you may have a defective unit.

When I opened one up the windings seemed to be those of autotransformers but floating with respect to the ground. The ground is common. If you use it as directed, there is no problem, but you do not want to inflict a common mode surge (use it outdoors- where a high voltage i.e. lightning, can pass through). It does not seem to be an isolation transformer.

The connectors come off too easily. Maybe google the company to see if they sell more parts. We bought two and they connect.

the screw that runs from the motor to the jack itself might be binding, causing the motor to overload, hook it up to your tow vehicle, run the jack up and down to see if there is any binding, I have not had any problems with mine and it works good.

From what I have experienced the top wire connector underneath at the top are not very good I believe the bottom is for the pilot ignighter so it is not as critical, the top is the sensor which is very critical and wants to shut the unit down due to loss of voltage I haven't taken mine apart yet to fix them so for now I just push the wire on as i release the pilot button.

Slide the top in first to match the connectors, large connector (negative) on the left. Then push the bottom part in to the battery compartment. Good luck.

Mine was a little loose, but it just needs to be tapped to snug up the connector tabs. Hope this makes sense and helps.

Make sure it is plugged in all the way and connectors clicked in tight...it's a tight fit

Hi. You have to press it pretty firmly into the socket. I was a bit cautious with that myself. Line it up and press it straight in.maybe turn as you press.
