Grand Prix V6-3.1L VIN J (2000)
6. Place the splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the
middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the
splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
8. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of
the splice.
9. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
10. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing:
^
The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
^
A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

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.
3. Select the proper size and type of wire.
