General
The purpose of the wiring harness repair method described is to replace wiring harness replacements, that have previously been necessary, as far as possible with economic repairs.
This means that after a fault has been located and classified into the above-mentioned damage types, an estimate has to be made as to which method of eliminating the fault is more economical: repair or replacement of the wiring harness.
Usually, the labour for the repair must not be greater than the existing time allowance for replacing the wiring harness. In borderline cases, required additional time can be approved by providing the "Y" voluntary code.
To assist you, the calculated time allowances for the wiring harness repair alone, without additions for any necessary supplementary operations, are given in section 6 "Time Allowances". These are to be incorporated separately into the estimate.
