If you're trying to connect with the connector unplugged, the "easiest"
thing to do might be to get some male and female pins and make jumper wires
with them . Finding the correct pins is the hard part of the easy
solution.

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.=C2=A0 I had the
connector open on my bench so I was looking for a kit to do "front
probing" if that's a thing. <br><br>
