Wiring diagrams (Incorrect routing): General information

Incorrect routing

Symptom

Intermittent circuit operation. Dynamic faults i.e. faults do not occur until the vehicle is driven round corners or over rough/bumpy roads. Wiring damaged or shorted to ground causing: Fuse(s) to blow, circuit(s) not to operate or not to operate correctly. Wiring damaged or open circuit causing: Circuit(s) not to operate or not to operate correctly.

Wire harness incorrectly routed

Cause

The wiring does not follow the correct routing, wiring is too tight or too slack, interfering with another component.

Action

Re-route the wiring harness, and secure in clips and retainers as necessary. Ensure no damage exists to the harness, its insulation and connectors.

Insufficient wire length

Symptom

Intermittent circuit operation. Dynamic faults, i.e. faults do not occur until the vehicle is driven round corners or over rough/bumpy roads. Wiring damaged or shorted to ground causing: Fuse(s) to blow, circuit(s) not to operate or not to operate correctly. Wiring damaged or open circuit causing: Circuit(s) not to operate or not to operate correctly.

Connector latch not pushed home

Cause

The wiring is correctly routed but not long enough. Connectors cannot be mated securely.

Action

Re-route the wiring harness, and secure in clips and retainers as necessary. Ensure no damage exists to the harness, its insulation and connectors.
