Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves
PROCEDURE
Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to form a one to one splice. They are to be used
where there are special requirements such as moisture scaling. (Crimp and Seal splice sleeves are included in the GM J 38125-A Terminal Repair
Kit.)
1. Open the Harness - by removing the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam ripper" to cut open the harness (available
from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only
be used to form a one to one splice.
2. Cut the Wire - cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire later if you decide to cut more wire to
change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from
other splices, harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.

3. Strip the Insulation - if necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness. Be certain to use the same size as the original wire. To find
the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If
unsure about the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the insulation is removed.
Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check
the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
