39. hOw tO cOnnect threadlOcKs
[HIFI/HK ONLY] The Threadlock splices will be used in the next
steps for HIFI/HK equipped vehicles. They work like this: Strip
3/8” of insulation from the wire to be connected. Unscrew one
end of the Threadlock and insert the wire through the end, then
tighten. There should be no exposed wire and the wire should be
secured thightly in the connector. These form a mechanical con-
nection that is easily reversible and more reliable than a soldered
connection.
