Troubleshooting

Tips and Precautions

Before Troubleshooting

Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay

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 battery

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 waterproof connectors).

All connectors have push-down release type locks.

LOCKING TAB

Some connectors have a clip on their side used to

attach 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 mount bracket.

BRACKET
Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on

their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.

Always reinstall plastic covers.

Before connecting connectors, make sure the termi-

nals are in place and not bent.

BENT TERMINAL

Check for loose retainer and rubber seals.

RETAINER
RUBBER SEAL RETAINER

The backs of some connectors are packed with

grease. Add grease if necessary. If the grease is con-

taminated, replace it.
