For retainer screws, the following guidelines apply:
•
Avoid using fasteners that are too long for the application or are in an area which might damage vehicle components, including wiring,
brake lines, fuel tank and lines, powertrain components, exhaust system and suspension.
•
Do not use pointed screws for attachments. Make sure that screws used in the vicinity of the wiring are blunt-ended.
•
To minimize the potential for wiring shorts, do not use drill point screws. Trim components (including wiring shields) should use pin-type
attachments instead of screws.
•
Always check areas that screws protrude into for verification that an interference condition to other components does not exist.
•
Make sure that retainers used are capable of withstanding the environment over the vehicle's life expectancy.
Splices and Repairs
WARNING:
Do NOT splice into or repair high-voltage (orange) wiring/cables. The high-voltage in this system is approximately 300 volts DC.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.
•
Stagger the splices within a harness to reduce increased harness diameter. Splice only on straight areas as installed, not on bends.
•
Strip wire ends, making sure that individual conductor strands are not damaged.
