Need help hooking up a switch

Like... you can't figure out how spade connectors work...? Might need a little more specificity.
 
That doesn't really help me.

I'm trying to fit this:

Onto this:

Assuming red/black goes to the power led header on your mobo and the two yellow wires go to the power switch header...

black --- "-"
red --- "+"
yellow --- "C"
yellow --- "NO"

Okay, great.

But.. the wires won't stay hooked.. :confused:
 
If the connector is a little bit loose you can use pliers to lightly crimp it onto the switch.
However, if the connector is really loose and falls right off you may have another problem.
It could be the wrong size connector or improper alignment (yer-doin'-it-wrong).

The red arrows show where you would apply pressure to tighten the connector.

No, it has to be the right one.. they say so on the site.

I'm just a bit afraid of crimping it too much.

I'll give it a try.
