HARRIER SERVICE MANUAL PART -1

ELECTRICAL 6 b. When disconnecting a connector pull it off from the mating connector by holding on both connectors. Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires. c. While disconnecting the interconnection connector, press in the direction indicated by arrows in the illustration. d. While connecting the interconnection connectors, insert the connectors until a “snap” noise is heard. e. Dirt / corroded terminals result in improper contact. The terminals should be cleaned carefully. Improper contact pressure between mating terminals disturbs the connectivity between them. Replace the damaged connector body to avoid exposure of the terminals in case of inadequate contact pressure. Ensure proper connection between the terminals to the wire. Rectify the loose connection by repairing / replacing the wire harness. Worn out insulation of the wire may result in short circuit. Avoid water entering in the connectors. 10.Before removing a faulty component, refer to the Workshop Manual for removal procedures. Ensure the starter switch is turned to the ’OFF’ position, the battery is disconnected and any disconnected harnesses are supported to avoid any undue strain at terminals. When replacing the component keep oily hands away from electrical connection areas and push connector’s home until any locking tabs fully engage. 11.When using a circuit tester to perform continuity or voltage checks or connector terminals, insert the test probe from the harness side. If the connector is a sealed connector, insert the test probe in through the hole in the rubber cap for the electrical wires, being careful not to damage the insulation of the wires; continue to insert the test probe until it contacts the terminal.
