⚡ Easy DIY Troubleshooting & Common Fixes

Connector broke while tightening terminal screws.
prob_01
Common root cause: Excessive tightening of the screws, putting too much force on the connector's plastic body.
Step-by-step solution: If the connector is still functional, try using a smaller screw or one with finer threads. Otherwise, replace the connector with a new one, tightening the screws just enough to secure the wire without deforming the plastic.
💡 Pro tip: Always tighten screws moderately. If you feel significant resistance, stop and check if the wire is properly positioned.
