XL-7 2WD V6-3.6L (2007)
8. 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.
9. Insert the wire into the DuraSeal splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
10. 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.
11. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
12. 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.
13. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve.
14. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.
15. Gradually move the heat from the center 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.
16. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been remove during the repair.

If the conductive portion of the wire is not damaged, locate the problem and apply tape around the wire. If the damage is more extensive, replace the
faulty segment of the wire. Refer to Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips and follow the instruction to repair the wire. See: Wiring Repairs/Splicing
