components is extremely
important for proper performance
and long term reliability.
All wiring connections should be
made either by soldering with
heatshrink tubing insulation or
with high quality crimp type
insulated connectors installed with
a good crimping tool. Soldering
crimp connections is recom-
mended to further enhance
connection reliability. Never use
wire-nuts, insulation-displacement
connectors (i.e. ScotchLok type), or
“twist and tape” connections. Do
not use electrical tape; it will
loosen with age and extreme
temperatures. Never leave bare
wire exposed.
Route the wiring through the car
carefully. Do not allow wires to lay
against sharp sheet metal edges or
any other surfaces that might wear
away or cut through the insulation
of the wire. Use insulated strain
reliefs, rubber grommets and
plastic tubing to protect the wires
whenever they are run through
sheet metal panels or are placed
where they might be pulled or
damaged.
