Checking Cables and Wires
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Hyundai Kona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check the terminal for tightness.
- Check terminals and wires for corrosion from battery electrolyte, etc.
- Check terminals and wires for open circuits.
- Check wire insulation and coating for damage, cracks and degrading.
- Check whether the conductive parts of terminals contact other metallic parts (vehicle body and other parts).
- Check whether there is complete continuity between the attaching bolt(s) of the grounded parts and the vehicle's body.
- Check for incorrect wiring.
- Check the wiring is clamped to prevent contact with sharp corners of the vehicle body, or hot parts (exhaust manifold, pipe, etc.)
- Check that the wiring is clamped firmly to provide enough clearance from the fan pulley, fan belt and other rotating or moving parts.
- Check that the wiring has a little space so that it can vibrate between the fixed (the vehicle body) and moving parts (wirings, engine, etc.)
