Body Harness Connector Replacement

Body Harness Connector Replacement (left or right side)





1. Stretch out the vehicle seat body harness and identify-by wire colors-the connector for the buckle pre-tensioner (see Figure 16).

2. Cut the harness at about 25 mm (1 inch) behind the connector (see Figure 16).

3. Remove about 75 mm (3 inches) of vinyl tape from the four wires.

4. Connect (solder) the new body connector harness wires to the body harness wires you just cut.

^ Select the correct harness Kit (RH or LH)-listed in the Parts Information.

^ Use Solder Sleeve Connectors (listed in the Parts Information) and Flameless Heat Gun - J-45538.

WARNING:
The wire colors on the new connector should be exactly the same as the wire colors on the body harness.
