Drying wiring harness
If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring harness, wipe it off with a dry
cloth. Avoid washing it in water or using steam. If the connector
must be washed in water, do not use high-pressure water or steam
directly on the wiring harness. If water gets directly on the connec-
tor, do as follows.
A. Disconnect the connector and wipe off the water with a dry
cloth.
★
If the connector is blown dry with compressed air, there is
the risk that oil in the air may cause defective contact, so
remove all oil and water from the compressed air before
blowing with air.
B. Dry the inside of the connector with a dryer.
If water gets inside the connector, use a dryer to dry the connec-
tor.
★
Hot air from the dryer can be used, but regulate the time
that the hot air is used in order not to make the connector or
related parts too hot, as this will cause deformation or dam-
age to the connector.
C. Carry out a continuity test on the connector.
After drying, leave the wiring harness disconnected and carry
out a continuity test to check for any short circuits between pins
caused by water.
★
After completely drying the connector, blow it with contact
restorer and reassemble.
