Hard shell (left) and weatherproof (right) connectors
Hard Shell-unlike molded connectors use replaceable terminal contacts.
Replacement usually involves the use of a special terminal removal tool that
depresses the locking tangs (barbs) on the connector terminal and allows the
connector to be removed from the rear of the shell. The connector shell should be
replaced if it shows any evidence of burning, melting, cracks, or breaks. Replace
individual terminals that are burnt, corroded, distorted or loose.
Test Equipment
Pinpointing the exact cause of trouble in an electrical circuit is most times accomplished by
the use of special test equipment. The following describes different types of commonly
used test equipment and briefly explains how to use them in diagnosis. In addition to the
information covered below, the tool manufacturer's instructions booklet (provided with the
tester) should be read and clearly understood before attempting any test procedures.
Jumper Wires
CAUTION
Never use jumper wires made from a thinner gauge wire than the circuit being tested. If
the jumper wire is of too small a gauge, it may overheat and possibly melt. Never use
jumpers to bypass high resistance loads in a circuit. Bypassing resistances, in effect,
creates a short circuit. This may, in turn, cause damage and fire. Jumper wires should only
be used to bypass lengths of wire or to simulate switches.
