Standard Procedure - Wire Splicing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When splicing a wire, it is important that the correct gage be used as shown in the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .

  1. Remove one-half (1/2) inch of insulation from each wire that needs to be spliced.
  2. Place a piece of adhesive lined heat shrink tubing on one side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long enough to cover and seal the entire repair area.
  3. Place the strands of wire overlapping each other inside of the splice clip. See Fig 1.
