Radio/Stereo: Diagnostic Aids
Intermittent and Poor Connection
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring, although a sticking relay or solenoid can occasionally be at fault. When checking
it for proper connection, perform careful check of suspect circuits for:
-
Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
-
Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean and free of any foreign material which could impede proper terminal contact.
However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or the like is prohibited.
-
Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal orientation with the component
or mating connector.
-
Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully to ensure good contact tension by using the corresponding mating terminal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact tension or replace.
-
Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
