📋 Procedure

1. If necessary, first open or release secondary locking element of connector housing .
2. Release contact (primary locking element) using suitable release tool .
3. Pull out contact on single wire from connector housing.
4. Select yellow repair wire with correct contact from wiring harness repair set.
5. Place wire to be repaired from vehicle's own wiring harness to one side (about 20 cm either side of repair position).

6. If necessary, remove binding around wiring harness using folding knife.
7. Insert new contact of repair wire into connector housing until it is engages.
8. Push single wire seal (A) onto repair wire. [Note: The small diameter of the single wire seal must face the connector housing.]
9. Push single wire seal into connector housing using correct assembly tool (B).
10. Trim repair wire and single wire of vehicle's own wiring harness as required using wire strippersVAS 1978/3.
11. Strip 6 - 7 mm of insulation from end of repair wire and vehicle's own single wire using wire strippers.
12. Crimp stripped ends of repair wire and single wire of vehicle's own wiring harness using crimping pliers and a crimp connector as described in chapter "“Wiring open circuits with one repair position”". [Note: If several wires need to be repaired, ensure that the crimp connectors are not directly adjacent to each other. To prevent the circumference of the wiring harness from becoming to great, position the crimp connectors so they are offset slightly.If the repair position was already wrapped, this section has to be wrapped again with yellow insulation tape once the repair has been carried out.Attach the repaired wiring harness with a cable tie, if necessary, to prevent it from generating noise when the vehicle is in motion.]
