Fitting the wiring harness
Fitting the wiring harness
When fitting the harness on the vehicle, you should observe the
following:
•
Start by attaching the harness to the Display Module by connecting
the 19-way military connector.
•
Position the ends of all the wires at the locations of the sensors, lamps,
and switches to which each is to be connected, but do not connect them
yet.
•
All wires should be routed as far as possible, and not less than
50mm/2”, from ignition HT leads and distributor caps, and any other
sources of high voltages.
•
When you pass any wire through a bulkhead or dashboard, fit a cable
grommet or gland into the hole so that the edge of the hole cannot
chafe the wire.
•
Particular care is needed when passing wires through holes in carbon
fibre, as the carbon can cut through cables very easily.
•
The heatshrink sleeving around the sensor cables can be cut back, if
necessary, to enable the sensor cables to go in separate directions
earlier. It is recommended that you always leave at least 150mm/6” of
heatshrink sleeving to provide additional strain relief for the cable
where it enters the 19-way connector.
