- Where possible, when installing a replacement cable/assembly, cut off the unused ends of the damaged cable/assembly at their exit points from the host harness and discard.
- The cut ends must be free from sharp edges. Any strands of wire must be taped over, to prevent damaging adjacent wires or cables or any personal injury.

- If the cut end of the cable/assembly is in an area of the vehicle, which is exposed to moisture, i.e. the engine bay; Cover the cut end with glue-lined heatshrink, squeezed with pliers to seal the end and prevent moisture ingress.
