Use a heat gun with a high enough rating to shrink the crimped butt connector.
Inspect results of shrinking
Check the shrinking results. If ok the glue should have been forced out of the ends of the butt connector and around the splice.
Replacing a Cable
Replacing a cable
If a cable must be replaced
If a cable is damaged it cannot be used again. The damage can be mechanical, electrical or the cable might be too short for crimping new cable terminals.
The cable must be replaced or spliced.
Selecting a new cable
Note! A new cable must always be of the same type as the one it replaces: the same length, insulation, core area and preferably the same color.
Select a new cable that matches the old.
Cable length
Measure the original cable length.
Cable area
Measure diameter on the original cable with a vernier caliper. Always replace cables with a cable of the same diameter or a cable that is nearest in
dimension to the original.
The cable area is stated on the wiring diagram (applies to 850 cars).
Note! It is always the cable core only that is used as the basis for cable area, not the area of the cable core and insulation together.
