VUE FWD L4-2.4L Hybrid (2007)
-
Use an AWG wire gage.
-
If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until achieving a clean strip of the
insulation.
* Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
* Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
* If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the above table at the beginning of the repair procedure for the color
coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool nests.
5. Use the splice crimp tool from the J 44020 to crimp the DuraSeal splice sleeves. In order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color
nest of the splice crimp tool.
The crimp tool has 3 nests, 1 is for the salmon and green splice sleeves, 2 is for the blue splice sleeves and 3 is for the yellow splice sleeves.
6. Place the DuraSeal 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 DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper nest.
7. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal 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 DuraSeal 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:
