Information





^ Do not cut the ends of the lead too short so that the connection area can be moved from the original installation position, if necessary, if there is insufficient space available.
^ The individual leads in the wiring harness must be crimped and offset with respect to each other so that the repair area does not become too thick.

8. Cut the ends of the lead to the required length and crimp it in area -a- with a crimp connector and crimping tool.

^ Cut off leads to different lengths (due to the shrink connection).
^ Slide shrink-fit hose over the leads.
^ Strip 10 mm of insulation off the leads.
^ Connect leads with crimp connectors (do not confuse colors of the individual leads).
^ Shrink shrink-fit hoses with a hot-air gun. It is essential that all leads are watertight.
^ Wrap commercially available PVC tape all around the area of the connection points.

9. Secure the repair area to the adjacent wiring harnesses using tie-wraps -b-.
