Dust Boot For Connector (Wiring Harness Side)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne, 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and 2008 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a pre-assembled wiring harness is installed, there is a dust boot on the connector for the LWL.

The dust boots can be removed by activating the locking mechanism.

When testing the LWL, the dust boot must be put back on.

Do not touch the exposed contact surfaces while or after removing the dust boot, as otherwise the optical contacts could become damaged or dirty.
