4. Re-assemble the cable.
-
Rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape.
-
Use caution not to wrap the drain wire in the tape (1).
-
Follow the splicing instructions for copper wire and splice the drain wire.
-
Wrap the drain wire around the conductors and tape with mylar tape.
Important: Apply the mylar tape with the aluminum side inward. This ensures good electrical contact with the drain wire.
5. Tape over the entire cable. Use a winding motion when you apply the tape.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the
following procedure.
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 diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape.
3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode.
4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool
Important: If the diode is located next to a connector terminal remove the terminal(s) from the connector to prevent damage from the soldering
tool.
5. Carefully strip away a section of insulation next to the old soldered portion of the wire(s). Do not remove any more than is needed to attach the
new diode.
