Removing sub-part for rear light

INFORMATION: Some of the repair illustrations show only one side of the vehicle. Naturally, some steps also have to be performed on the opposite side of the vehicle as well. These must be carried out as a mirror image of the steps shown.







1. Cut off wire harness in area -x-.







2. Remove grommet -A- and then remove sub-part.







Installing sub-part for rear light
1. Push wire harness through towards the interior and fit rubber sleeve -A-.







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.

INFORMATION:
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 wire harnesses NR.155-2.

Crimping samples are to be prepared before beginning work.

INFORMATION: Allocation of lines - see wiring diagram.

2. Crimp the line in area -x-.







2.1. Cut off lines in different lengths (due to the shrink-fit connections).
2.2. Slide shrink-fit hoses onto the lines.
2.3. Strip 10 mm of insulation off the wires.
2.4. Crimp lines using crimping sleeves and the hand crimping pliers from the repair kit for wire harnesses Nr.155-1.
2.5. Slide the shrink-fit hoses over the crimp connections and carefully shrink them using the hot-air blower with special nozzle (recommended accessories for the repair kit for wire harnesses) so that they are watertight.
2.6. Wrap commercially available PVC tape all around the area of the connection points.

Subsequent work
1. Install the tail light.
2. Install trim panel with sound absorber for luggage compartment at the sides.
3. Connect the battery.
