Electrical connections
Caution!
a
Before drilling any holes, make sure that no electrical cables or other parts
of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing (fig. 5,
page 5).
When laying cables in the engine compartment or boot, use existing openings
with rubber seals wherever possible.
Where there is no suitable opening, drill a hole with a diameter of
approximately 13 mm, and insert a cable duct sleeve.
Note
I
Pull the socket connectors of the cables through the cable duct sleeve, be-
fore inserting the sleeve in the bodywork.
Lay out the cables in the motor or boot so that they cannot be damaged under
any circumstances (e. g. by flying grit).
Insulate all unused cable ends.
Run the cables along the original cable harnesses and tie them as often as pos-
sible using insulating tape or cable ties.
7.2
Using branch connectors (fig. 8, page 6)
To prevent loose connections in the branch connectors, it is important to ensure that
the cable cross sections fit into the branch connectors.
To use the branch connectors, proceed as follows:
➤
Insert the cable to be tapped in the front groove of the cable connector (A).
➤
Insert the end of the new cable up to approx. 3/4 of the way into the rear groove
(B).
➤
Use a pair of combination pliers to close the connector by pressing the metal pin
in. This establishes an electrical connection (C).
➤
Press down the safety cap until it snaps into place.
➤
Check that the connection is firm by gently pulling the cable (D).
7.3
Creating clean soldering joints
Proceed as follows to solder a cable to the original cables (fig. 9, page 6):
➤
Strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from the end of the original cable (A).
➤
Strip approx. 15 mm of insulation from the end of the cable to be connected (B).
➤
Wind the cable to be connected around the original cable and solder the two ca-
bles together (C).
➤
Insulate the two cables with insulating tape (D).
