22. Twist together one connector wire lead to one deployment wire (1). The connection must be mechanically secure (Figure 29).
23. Bend flat the twisted connection that you made in the previous step. Secure the connection by wrapping tightly with electrical tape (2). This will
also insulate the connection (Figure 29).
24. Twist together, bend and tape the remaining connector wire lead to the remaining deployment wire (3) (Figure 29).
25. Connect the deployment harness to the inflatable restraint I/P module, yellow 2-way connector.
