1. Open the harness.
^
If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
^
To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
^
If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
^
Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
^
Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches and connectors. This helps prevent moisture
from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
