- Cut off faulty potentiometer behind the wiring of the spare potentiometer using a pair of side cutters.
- Join wires using crimp connector and crimping tool. See MATERIALS AND TOOLS .
- Cut off lines to different lengths (due to the shrink connection).
- Slide shrink-fit hose over the leads.
- Strip 10 mm of insulation off the wires.
- Connect wires with crimp connectors (do not confuse colours of the individual wires).
- Shrink shrink-fit hoses with a hot-air gun. It is essential that all wires are watertight.
