Wiring Repair
Wiring harness and wires - All wires are of a specific insulation color indicated on the wiring diagrams. Insulation color helps to
identify circuits and make correct connections. Insulation colors and their abbreviations are as follows:
Wire repair is very important for the continued, reliable operation of the vehicle. This repair must be done as described in the fol-
lowing procedure:
Single Wire Repair (Exposed)
1.
Remove the damaged area, removing as little wire as possible (Figure 12-8).
NOTE: Care should be exercised in stripping the wire insulation to avoid cutting wire conductor strands.
2.
Strip the wire ends to the appropriate length required by the splice clip (Figure 12-9).
NOTE: Heat shrink tubing is available in various diameters. Typically the heat shrink tubing will shrink to approximately one-half
of its original diameter, therefore the tubing diameter selected for the repair should not be greater than twice the wire insulation di-
ameter to ensure a proper seal.
3.
Slide heat shrink the tubing over one of the wire ends (Figure 12-10).
NOTE: Splice clips are available for different wire gauge sizes. Therefore, it is important to select the appropriate size for the wire
gauge being repaired.
4.
Slide both ends of the wire into the splice clip and crimp the splice clip to the wire ends (Figure 12-11).
5.
Pull the wires, by hand, in the opposite directions to test the crimp of the splice clip.
6.
Center heat shrink the tubing over the splice clip (Figure 12-12).
7.
Using a heat gun or equivalent heat source, apply heat to the heat shrink tubing until the tubing conforms to the splice clip and
the wire insulation (Figure 12-13).
8.
After the splice cools, apply two layers of vinyl adhesive electrical tape to complete the repair (Figure 12-14).
Single Wire Repair (In a Harness)
1.
Remove the harness covering in the affected area (Figure 12-15).
2.
Repair the damaged wire using the exposed single wire repair procedures. (Go to Step 1.)
3.
After completing the wire repair, apply two layers of vinyl adhesive electrical tape over the affected area to complete the repair
(Figure 12-16).
Multiple Wire Repair (In a Harness)
NOTE: Since more than one splice is required in this case, stagger the wire splices such that they are no closer than 3 in. (7.6 cm)
from each other.
Repair the affected wires using the single wire repair (in a harness) procedures.

FUSIBLE LINK MAINTENANCE
The following procedure covers the replacement of fusible links encountered through circuit diagnosis.
1.
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2.
Carefully remove the old fusible link from the termination (alternator, power stud, starter).
3.
Locate the original wiring harness splice between the fusible link and the wiring harness (Figure 12-7).
4.
Cut the fusible link splice on the harness side. Do not splice into the original fusible link; this may be weakened and cause a
premature failure and repeat problem.
5.
Identify the original fuse link size and length of the fuse link and cut away from the vehicle.
6.
Matching the wire size, cut a length of the fusible link wire to the total length cut from the vehicle in Step 4. Be sure to
compensate for any harness wire removed with the original wire. This will avoid overtight wiring that may become separated
with normal operation.
NOTE: Fusible link is a wire with special insulation. It is important that replacement material be fusible link wire and it should be
labeled as such. The replacement fusible link should be between six and nine inches long.
7.
Install a new crimp on the connector of the same type and size as the original lug or connector. Seal the connection with low
temperature heat shrink tubing.
8.
Place a piece of heat shrink tubing onto the wire and install a butt connector onto the fusible link.
9.
Install the fusible link by connecting it to the wiring harness with the butt connector and the heat shrink tubing.
10. Connect the terminal end to the original location, alternator, power stud, or the starter. Reconnect the battery ground cable and
check the circuit(s) affected for proper operation.
