Strip the insulation from the wires to expose 1/8 in. of copper wire, make sure the strands of wire are not cut, just the insulation.
16.
The body side harness connectors use female terminals and the door side harness connectors use male terminals.
17.
Carefully crimp new terminals onto the wires using a crimping tool, Snap-On, # PWC47, or equivalent.
