Electrical Parts




Battery Cable
Before disconnecting connectors or replacing electrical parts, disconnect the negative battery cable.

REMOVAL OF CONNECTOR




1. Never pull on the wiring harness when disconnecting connectors.




2. Connectors can be removed by pressing or pulling lock lever.

LOCKING A CONNECTOR




Listen for a click when locking connectors. This sound indicates that they are securely locked.

INSPECTION OF CONNECTORS




3. When a tester is used to check for continuity or to measure voltage, insert tester probe from wire harness side.




4. Check terminals of waterproof connectors from connector side because they cannot be accessed from harness side.

NOTE:
- Use a fine wire to prevent damage to the terminal.
- Do not damage the terminal when inserting the tester lead.

INSPECTION OF TERMINALS




Pull lightly on individual wires to ensure that they are secured in the terminal.

REPLACEMENT OF TERMINALS

Use appropriate tools to remove terminal as shown. When installing the terminal, insert it until it locks securely.

Insert a thin piece of metal from the terminal side of the connector, and then, with the terminal locking tab pressed down, pull the terminal out of the connector.

Follow the same procedure as female-type terminal.
