    • Start with your Dyson DC14 unplugged, standing upright and facing towards you.

    • Disconnect the telescopic vacuum wand.

    • Remove the two T15 Torx screws securing the switch cover to the vacuum.

    • Push outward on the two plastic clips that secure the switch cover to the vacuum.

    There are also two screws ( one of which can been seen on the photo and another a few inches below ) that need to be removed BEFORE pushing outward on the plastic tabs.

    • Remove the switch cover from the vacuum.

    • The purple switch button may separate from the rest of the switch cover.

    • Holding them by their white plastic coverings, firmly pull the two wires from the power switch.

    • Be sure to grip the wires from their attached connectors. Pulling directly on the wires could damage your vacuum.

    • The terminals will only fit one way during reassembly. Only one of the wires is long enough to reach the far terminal of the switch.

    I can’t unplug the old starter. It seems stuck. What am I doing wrong?

    • Remove the other terminal for the power cord that connects to the terminal below the power switch.

    • Holding them by their connectors, separate the remaining wire of the power cord from the internal power cable.

Allen wrench works fine.

No need to buy Torx screwdriver

I was able to remove the terminals from the power cord but am not sure how to remove the connectors from the wires. I am guessing I need to remove these connectors to get the old power cord and then use the connectors with the new wires.

Hello, I have been given a Dyson DC 14 and it looks like the plug has been chopped off clean all the way at the very end of the Court. I would like to replace the plug or the entire cord if that's the case. But I am wondering if I do replace the cord and spend that type of money how do I know if it's going to work or not? So is there a way to test the vacuum with my car battery by touching the two cords to the terminals? also which cord is positive and which cord is negative cuz there's a black and a white cord? I have always wanted a Dyson vacuum. It is actually been a dream of mine because I think they're so cool. So now that I have one I want to fix it as inexpensively as possible. Please help thank you so much Brian Higgins
