Extension Harness Weatherproofing
When the camera extension harness is routed along the exterior of the vehicle, it is important to use the
weatherproofing tape included with this kit to ensure the long-term operation of the camera. Use the following
steps to do so.
1.
Gently bend the wires around the two minifit connectors so that the two halves of the camera harness are
folded over one another and the black wire cover overlaps (Figure 1).
2.
Unravel the supplied weatherproofing tape and tightly wrap it around the minifit connectors providing an
approximate 2” buffer on each side (Figure 2).
3.
Once wrapped, firmly press the tape together (Figure 3).
4.
Wrap the weatherproofing tape in a layer of electrical tape to provide an extra buffer against the elements
(Figure 4).
