CONNECTORS / TERMINALS / SENSORS, SWITCHES, AND RELAYS

1. When a tester is used to check for continuity or to measure voltage, insert the tester probe from the wiring harness side.

2. Check the terminals of waterproof connectors from the connector side, as they cannot be accessed from the wiring harness side.

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

Use the appropriate tools to remove a terminal as shown. When installing a terminal, be sure to 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 from the connector.

Handle sensors, switches, and relays carefully. Do not drop them or strike them against other objects.
