SEN00056-01 00 Index and foreword 4) Drying wiring harness If there is any oil or dirt on the wiring har- ness, 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 connector, do as fol- lows. 1] Disconnect the connector and wipe off the water with a dry cloth. a 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 com- pressed air before blowing with air. 2] Dry the inside of the connector with a dryer.
If water gets inside the connector, use a dryer to dry the connector. a 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 damage to the connector. 3] Carry out a continuity test on the con- nector. After drying, leave the wiring harness disconnected and carry out a continu- ity test to check for any short circuits between pins caused by water. a After completely drying the con- nector, blow it with contact restorer and reassemble. 14 D65EX, PX, WX-15E0
