INFORMATION:
- Select a place for the joint where there is enough space to join all the lines present.
- Do not cut the lines too short in case they have to be laid in a different position if there is insufficient space in the area of the joint.
- The electric lines are located in the plenum panel and are thus exposed to the highest demands.
- The greatest care must be used in the individual work steps for stripping insulation from, crimping, and shrinking/insulating the electric lines.
- The procedure for stripping insulation from, crimping, and shrinking/insulating the electric lines must be complied with and observed. The procedures are described in detail in the Repair kit for Cayenne harnesses NR.155-2.
- Crimping samples are to be prepared before beginning work.
- Allocation of lines - see wiring diagram.
