Extra Open Connectors - Procedure For "Wet" Environment/Exterior Wiring Harness:
1.
Cut each wire from the extra connector as close to the connector as possible (Figure 2).
2.
Using dual wall heat shrink tubing, position tubing over each individual wire (Figure 3).
3.
Use a shielded, flameless heat gun to heat the repair area until the tubing shrinks and adhesive flows out of both ends of the shrink tubing. While
the adhesive is still hot, use pliers to pinch the ends of the heat shrink tubing closed to form a moisture proof seal (Figure 4).
4.
Use electrical tape to bundle the wires together, then stow the bundle under an existing harness in the area.
