Does anyone out there have pics of what these
connections should look like? I just had my
compressor
replaced and the shop guy said that the connection on
the right kind of had a melt down. They replaced it
with a generic crimp connector and I'm not sure this
is the way to go. Can someone post a picture of what
it how it should be done correctly?
Thanks,
Steven
