Inserting Cable Terminal In A Housing




When cable terminal is to be inserted in a housing

Keep in mind the following







The secondary locking must always be open.
Inspect the locking tab/tabs on the terminal for damage and check that they are not pressed inward.
The cable terminal must be inserted from the housing's cable side.
Check against the wiring diagram that you have the correct cavity/position number.
Turn the cable terminal the right way up. Check against the other terminals.
When the cable terminal is inserted in the cavity a "click" is often heard when the primary locking engages.
Check that the cable terminal is firmly in place by pulling lightly on the cable.

Proceed

When the cable terminal is located in the housing it should be closed.

Closing the housing

Keep in mind the following







The secondary locking must always be adjusted to the initial position.
The secondary locking must be closed in reverse order to the way it was opened.
When the secondary locking is closed a "click" is often heard.
If it cannot be closed it might be because the cable terminal is not completely inserted in the cavity.
If the connector has a sheath, cover or rubber gasket for the housings, do not forget to reinstall it.

After completing the repair work

- Replace the battery negative cable terminal on the battery.
- check functions for the equipment affected by the repair.
