Troubleshooting
Tips and Precautions (cont'd)
• Insert the connector all the way and make sure it is
securely locked.
• Position wires so that the open end of the cover faces
down.
Handling Wires and Harnesses
• Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with
their respective wire ties at the designated locations.
• Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks.
Slip pliers under the clip base and through the hole at
an angle, then squeeze the expansion tabs to release the
clip.
• After installing harness clips, make sure the harness
doesn't interfere with any moving parts.
• Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and
other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets and
holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.

Testing and Repairs
• Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break
with electrical tape.
• After installing parts, make sure that no wires are
pinched under them.
• When using electrical test equipment, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.
• If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the
wire side (except waterproof connector).
• Use a probe with a tapered tip.
• Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for
identification and replacement of connector
terminals.
