Taylor Strap pin/electric input coming loose

[Monk of Funk]

I have a Taylor and the pin spins loose, I can tighten it and it grips for a little while, but it comes loose again soon enough.

I'm assuming this is pretty common. What should I do to tighten it properly, or stop it from happening again. It lasted for probably 5 years without ever doing that before.

Are we referring to the one fitted to the neck or the strap button in the rear bout, what model Taylor

Unscrew the loose cap from the jack.

Use a Q-tip dampened with alcohol to clean the male threads on the jack and the female threads in the cap. Allow them to dry completely.

Apply a teensy drop of Loctite (blue) on the male threads and snug the cap down onto the jack.

Problem solved.

Thank you, and sorry guys, I must have posted this and completely forgotten about it. I still have the problem, but I haven't tried cleaning it yet. will look into that, thx.

It was the pin in the lower bout, that houses the jack for the pickups.

The loctite is probably a better solution, but I've used a very thin O-ring over the threads for the cap to seat down against. Keeps it from coming off, but also doesn't let it seat all the way down sometimes.
