92 TCI connections

[MasterGuns]

I have had this new to me 92 for about a month now and am still going through it entirely. Today was for checking all the TCI connections to ensure they are all clean and connecting properly. To my surprise once I removed the battery and its holder and air cleaner, exposing the TCI, rather than the connectors being connected with a male/female holder, the harness connection is just pushed into the TCI. There is no clip that locks in either of the connectors. This simply cannot be right. What am I missing here? Shouldn't there be some sort of a locking device that ensures the connector is attached firmly? There is nothing in any parts list that I can see. Help please.

Herb,

 

Unless the locking tab is broken, or it's a different TCI, I really dont have a good answer for you. Are you wanting to relocate the TCI on top of the air box or are you going to leave it in it's stock position?

I have seen several 1st gen TCI's and none of them had any provision for securly locking connectors into the TCI.

 

There would have too be a tab of some sort on the TCI box and the 10 or so I have seen have no sign of any.

If you are that worried about it, you can run a thin line of Plastic Tape at the mated joint. It goes on like RTV but later on it can simply peeled right off, clean.

I took two small nylon tywraps and run them around the connector in two places, no way it can come apart.
