With the low current and voltage wires in the Saturn vehicle, it is best to use approved Packard Electric Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves (or equivalent).

- Put the connector seal on the wire, if equipped.
- Remove the insulation from the end of the cut lead and the harness. Recommended strip length is 9.5 mm (3/8 in). Caution must be used to prevent cutting the wire strands.
- Determine proper sleeve for gage of wire.
- Position stripped ends in sleeve until wires hit the stop in the center of the splice.
- Hand crimp using the approved crimping tool. Gently tug on wires to make sure they are secure before applying heat to them.
- Apply heat using the Heat Gun or some other device, heating to 175°C (347°F) until glue flows around edges of sleeve.
- Check for continuity.
- Insert the terminal into the connector. Check to make sure the terminal lock tab is engaged by gently tugging on the wire.
- Replace any terminal position assurance (TPA) devices.
CAUTION:
Do not use match or open flame to apply heat to seal.
