Yes, but back probing isn't always easy/possible
on some of the more weatherproof connectors and I
don't know if I would make a good enough
connection to apply voltage and ground to run a
motor. I had the connector open on my bench so I
was looking for a kit to do "front probing" if that's a thing.
