|  CA glue and bullet connectors!!
I was trying to make a tray that would cover my electronics from the elements. I decided that it would be a good idea to use ca on a joint but I got carried away. It dripped down onto the bullet connectors. I tried to clean it off as quick as I could. When I fired it up I had no power to my front motor (the connectors that got the drops on them). Are those connectors screwed and need to be replaced or is there something more serious that could have happened? |

Pictures? I think It's just that the glue isn't allowing a proper connection. As far as I know, ca glue doesn't mess with connectors.

CA is 100% conductive, so if the drips connect the positive and negative, STOP and clean the CA glue with Acetone.

I didn't actually connect the negative and positive, but it damn near glued the male and female connectors together. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Cleaned the connectors as best as i could. Let it sit over night. This morning i plugged everything back up and it worked just fine. I made the connections a little tighter than they were before. But it seems to be working just fine.  |

Good to hear you got it working again. If ever you heat those connectors up again to melt the solder make sure you have lots of ventilation. CA smoke (as well as from many other chemicals) is really nasty stuff and you don't want to breathe any in. |
