1.6 WIRING HARNESSES
After the first wiring harness has been
disconnected or replaced, it must be
reconnected in the original manner and
fastened.
Protect the wiring harness against contact with
sharp edges. Always use a grommet when
passing the wiring harness through an aperture.
Protect the wiring harnesses by enclosing them
in a protective sleeve.
Make sure that the joints are watertight. Never
remove sealing rings from connectors. Fit the
connectors in the correct manner.
Good earth connections are essential. There
must be no paint or oxidation between the
contact surfaces. Before fitting, apply a
conductive grease such as “Coranode” or an
equivalent product to the contact surfaces.
Tighten the attachment bolt securely.
Make sure that wiring is not located too close to
parts which become hot during operation.
“Freely suspended” cables, such as those
between the chassis and the cab, must not be
kinked or pinched between other parts.
Prevent wiring harnesses from scraping against
plastic pipes.
The pins of connectors must always be installed
and removed with special tools, to prevent poor
connections.
Wiring harnesses and connectors of the airbag
and seat belt tensioner system must not be
repaired. If damaged, the complete assembly
must be renewed.
