  Caution

Risk of damaging surrounding components.

  • When heat-shrinking crimp connections, be careful not to damage any other wiring, plastic parts or insulating material with the hot nozzle of the hot air blower.
  • Always observe operating instructions of heat gun.

  Note

  • Make sure that crimp connections do not lie directly next to each other when several wires need to be repaired. Arrange the crimp connectors at a slight offset so that the circumference of the wiring harness does not become too large.
  • If the repair point was previous taped, this point must be taped again with yellow insulating tape after repairs.
  • Secure the repaired wiring harness if necessary with a cable tie to prevent flapping noises while driving.
