67. Cut the 4 SIR wires (2 for side air bag and 2 for pretensioner) leading to the yellow harness connector from the vehicle, leaving at least 16 cm (6
in) of wire at the connector.
68. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from all four SIR wires connector leads (2 for side air bag and 2 for pretensioner).
69. Cut two 6.1 m (20 ft) deployment wires from a 0.8 mm (18 gage) or thicker multi-strand wire. Use these wires to fabricate the deployment
harness.
70. Strip 13 mm (0.5 in) of insulation from both ends of the wires cut in the previous step.
