Most of those type of connectors have a barb on the pins that lock the pins in place once inserted into the connector shell. You need a split sleeve tool designed to remove the pins by compressing the barb.

If you can get to the edge of the female sleeves that the pins insert into, you could compress them a bit with a dental pick. They are probably a bit sloppy of a fit.


Tinning the pins with solder may help also, but it's a delicate process.

yea i couldn't get it i don't have the proper tools for the job... but i'm assuming it's broken because when you flick it or shake it it rattles inside and when you move the wires around when it's plugged in it'll make the pump run and when you stop it quits so this means it's broken correct??

It could be a broken wire but it just sounds like the pins are too loose in the connector to seat right or need to be spread a bit. I've gotten them out with a micro screwdriver before also, but there is a tool for it.
