Escape 4WD V6-181 3.0L DOHC VIN 1 Duratec (2003)
3. Strip approximately 6 mm (1/4 in) of insulation from each of the cut wires in the harness. See Figure 18.
CAUTION:
The harness contains a 16-gauge red wire and a 20-gauge red wire with a pink tracer. DO NOT cross these wires when splicing in the service pigtail.
As an assembly aid, the 16-gauge red wire on the service pigtail is identified by a small tag.
Also, it is possible that some discoloration of the insulation may occur. Sets of wires may appear to have the same color insulation when, in fact, all
wires in the ABS module harness are different except for the 2 black ground circuit wires. Be sure to carefully examine each wire to avoid crossing
circuits when splicing wires.
NOTE:
The harness contains 2 black wires of the same size. Both are grounds (circuit 57). Crossing these wires has no adverse effect on vehicle operation.
NOTE:
The service pigtail kit contains the connector with wires matching color and size of the original vehicle harness and a piece of heat shrink tubing to
cover each splice.
