For repair of wiring and terminals, see the appropriate Wiring Diagrams.

Loose connections in terminals may be caused by oxidation of the pins and sockets, or by a faulty connection of a cable to its cable terminal.

Loose connections produce the same faults as an intermittent open-circuit in a cable.

Checks: 

• Inspect terminals visually according to Inspect terminals visually .
