HARDWARE AND WIRING

Staggering Wire Splices

Position spliced wires properly as follows:
You must stagger positions to prevent a large bulge in the harness
and to prevent the wires from chafing against each other.
1. Stagger the position of each splice (see Figure 3-24) so there is at least a 2.5 in. (65
mm) separation between splices.
Figure 3-24 The Correct and Incorrect Method of Staggering Multiple Splices
A minimum of two layers of heat shrink tubing extending .25 in. (6
mm) past the splice must be used to complete the splice.
2. Heat shrink a minimum of two layers of heat shrink tubing.
3. Tape the spliced wires to each other. Refer to section 3.4.
