Cables And Wires Check
- Check connections for looseness, rust, and stains.
- Check terminals and wires for corrosion.
- Check terminals and wires for open circuit or impending open circuit.
- Check wire insulation and coating for damage, cracks, and wear.
- Check conductive parts of terminals for contact with other metallic parts (vehicle body and other parts).
- Check grounding parts to verify that there is complete continuity between attaching bolt(s) and vehicle body.
- Check for incorrect wiring.
- Check that harnesses are secured to prevent contact with sharp edges and corners or hot parts (exhaust manifold, pipe, etc.).
- Check that harnesses are secured firmly to provide enough clearance from the fan pulley, fan belt, and other rotating or moving parts.
- Check that the harnesses between fixed parts (such as the vehicle body) and vibrating parts (such as the engine) are long enough to allow for vibration and movement.
