Adjusting Electrical Terminal Pin Tension
This artical provides clarification on proper procedure for adjusting electrical terminal pin tension. Under no circumstances should the male terminal be twisted, these terminals must remain as designed, the only pin tension that is being recommended is for the female terminals is where we want to tighten the pin fit and have the proper alide resistance when completed.

This is an improper repair attempt and will be subject to warranty charge-back. Terminals are twisted.
Depress the plastic locking tab and gently remove the terminal to be adjusted. When removed adjust the metallic contact tang until proper slide ersistence
