SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
(9) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one
side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long
enough to cover and seal the entire repair area.
(10) Spread the strands of the wire apart on each
part of the exposed wires.
(11) Push the two ends of wire together until the
strands of wire are close to the insulation.
(12) Twist the wires together.
(13) Solder the connection together using rosin
core type solder only. Do not use acid core solder.
(14) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing.
(15) Insert the repaired wire into the connector.
(16) Install the connector
required, and reconnect the connector to its mating
half/component.
(17) Re-tape the wire harness starting 1-1/2 inches
behind the connector and 2 inches past the repair.
(18) Connect battery, and test all affected systems.
DIODE REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect the battery.
(2) Locate the diode in the harness, and remove
the protective covering.
(3) Remove the diode from the harness, pay atten-
tion to the current flow direction (Fig. 22).
Fig. 22 Diode Identification
(4) Remove the insulation from the wires in the
harness. Only remove enough insulation to solder in
the new diode.
(5) Install the new diode in the harness, making
sure current flow is correct. If necessary refer to the
appropriate wiring diagram for current flow.
(6) Solder the connection together using rosin core
type solder only. Do not use acid core solder.
(7) Tape the diode to the harness using electrical
tape making, sure the diode is completely sealed
from the elements.
(8) Re-connect the battery, and test affected systems.
