Connect the multi pin connectors
Each wire inside the cabin has been labeled with masking tape as it was fitted in order to
clearly identify where it came from. If any wires have not been labeled then use a circuit
tester to trace the wire to its source and then label it clearly.
Use the multi pin connector diagrams from the
Assemble instrument panel
task to sort and
group the wires for each connector together. Trim each group to an even length, then strip
4mm from the insulation of each wire and fit the appropriate connector type to each wire:
male
spade connectors for a
female
connector body and
female
spade connectors for a
male
connector body.
The connector bodies that will be used are the matching halves of the connectors that were
used in the
Assemble instrument panel
task – these were store at the completion of that task.
Use the connector diagrams and pin numbering assignments from the
Assemble instrument
panel
task to very carefully fit each spade connector into the connector body until it clicks
into place in the same manner as you did in the
Assemble instrument panel
task.
Take your time with this step – the wiring to each pin
must
be absolutely correct!
Notice the clear labeling of each connector in the photo above right.
Clip a ferrite RF Suppressor (shown opened at right)
around each wiring bundle as it exits from the cable
collar in the firewall, taking care not to crush any
single wire when you clip it shut.
Use a zip tie around the wiring bundle to hold the RF
Suppressor from sliding down the wires.
