Wiring diagrams (Loose): General information

Loose

Symptom

Incorrect/intermittent circuit operation, possibly more than one circuit affected.

Cause

The bolt fixing the earth eyelet or header to the body is not properly tightened.

Action

Unbolt the earth wire(s) and thoroughly clean area in a 10 mm radius of the earth point. Treat the prepared area and earth terminals with a recommended wiring connector grease. Refit earth wires and tighten fixing bolt securely.

NOTE: Incorrect grease type will make the connection worse, under no circumstances use silicone oil or grease as this is a perfect insulator.
