INFORMATION



Wiring repairs can be performed on all vehicles including those not yet retailed. In most cases a harness repair is preferable to harness replacement



because a harness replacement can introduce new problems simply because of the complexity of the installation.



Refer to Repair Instructions in groups RA 61 00 and RA 61 13 for specific details on how to perform repairs. These Repair Instructions include



information on all aspects of wire repair, including:



^ Tools and equipment



^ Available types of repair connector



^ Repair kits



^ Connector removal techniques



^ Wire repair techniques



^ Twisted pair repair techniques



^ Optical fiber repair techniques



^ Etc.



Remember, many of the most difficult problems to troubleshoot are caused by wiring issues. It is therefore very important not to take short cuts when



performing wiring harness repairs. Always use the recommended tools and follow the repair instructions.
