SAFARI BSVI - SERVICE MANUAL

ELECTRICAL 5 g. Before commencing work on an ignition system, all high tension terminals, adapters and diagnostic equipment for testing should be inspected to ensure that they are adequately insulated and shielded to prevent accidental personal contact and to minimize the risk of shock. 8. When installing any of the vehicle parts, be careful not to pinch or damage any of the wiring harness. 9. Connectors and Harnesses The engine compartment of a vehicle is a particularly hostile environment for electrical components and connectors. Always ensure these items are dry and oil free before disconnecting and connecting test equipment. Never force connectors apart either by using tools or by pulling on the wiring harness. Always ensure locking tabs are disengaged before removal and note orientation to enable correct reconnection. Ensure that any protective covers and substances are replaced if disturbed. a. Make sure that connectors are connected securely. 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.
