4) Drying wiring harness
If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring harness,
wipe it off with a dry cloth. Avoid washing it in
water or using steam. If the connector must
be washed in water, do not use high-pres-
sure water or steam directly on the wiring
harness. If water gets directly on the
connector, do as follows.
1] Disconnect the connector and wipe off
the water with a dry cloth.
a
If the connector is to be blown with dry
compressed air, there is the risk that
oil in the air may cause defective con-
tact, remove oil and water in the air
before starting air blow.
2] Dry the inside of the connector with a
dryer.
If water gets inside the connector, use a
dryer to dry the connector.
a
Hot air from the dryer can be used, but
regulate the time that the hot air is
used in order not to make the connec-
tor or related parts too hot, as this will
cause deformation or damage to the
connector.
3] Perform a continuity test on the
connector.
After drying, leave the wiring harness
disconnected and perform a continuity
test to check for any short circuits
between pins caused by water.
a
After completely drying the connector,
blow it with electric contact cleaner
and reassemble.
