Troubleshooting

Tips and Precautions

Before Troubleshooting

• Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse box.

• Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and

clean and tight connections.

• Check the alternator belt tension.

CAUTION:

• Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery

ground cable has been disconnected.

Otherwise you will damage the alternator

diodes.

• Do not attempt to crank the engine with the bat-

tery ground cable loosely connected or you will

severely damage the wiring.

Handling Connectors

• Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose

wire terminals.

• Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with

grease (except watertight connectors).

• All connectors have push-down release type locks.

LOCKING TAB

Some connectors have a clip on their side used to at-

tach them to a mount bracket on the body or on

another component. This clip has a pull type lock.

Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected

unless you first release the lock and remove the con-

nector from its bracket.

• Always reinstall plastic covers.

• Before connecting connectors, make sure the ter-

minals are in place and not bent.
