ACTION
REPAIR VS REPLACEMENT
The approved procedure is to repair wiring harnesses with pigtail kits, wire terminals, or hard shell connectors when available. The only exceptions to
this procedure are when:
^
The repair cost exceeds the cost to replace the wiring harness
^
There are no component parts released to service the wiring harness
RESTRAINTS RELATED WIRING REPAIRS
If restraints connectors or wiring circuits are contained in a stand-alone harness, do not repair them; replace the restraints harness unless directed to
repair the circuit by a TSB or other Ford Motor Company publication.
If restraints connectors or wiring circuits are contained in the main vehicle wiring harnesses (14401, 14A005, etc.), they should be repaired using the
solder and heat-shrink repair procedure specified in this TSB. The General Wire Terminal Repair Kit contains gold plated terminated pigtails (with white
insulation) and dual wall heat shrink tubing to perform these repairs. Loaded wiring pigtail kits with gold plated terminals are also available in the parts
catalog.

Service Tips
Refer to applicable model year wiring diagrams for circuit information.
Twisted Wire Circuits
For "Twisted Wire" circuit repair (Figure 1), the twisting must not be disrupted for more than 2" (51 mm) Twist the repaired wires in the same direction
and with the same general twist rate as the original wiring. Reapply the shielding on shielded circuits.
