The same Torx screws must be re-used because of
their self-locking effect.
When inserting the screws again, make sure that
they pick up with the existing thread in the sheet-

Failing this, vibration could cause the screws to
work loose.

the same time pressing both engine cables into
the left cable entries on the relay housing (red at

Caution:
Make sure the cable is not at an angle, or its insula-
tion may be damaged.

pushing the two halves fully together, and press
the two wires into the center (smaller) cable en-
tries.

ing harness onto the threaded pins with the
