Stripping the cable for a cable terminal
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the cable is to be stripped of the end insulation prior to terminal crimping in a cable terminal, check if a seal is required for that type of cable terminal.
- A description of which cable terminals require seals can be found in Seal SWS and plug .
If no seal is to be used on the cable terminal
- Proceed to Length of the stripped section of cable .
If a seal is to be used on the cable terminal
Thread the seal on to the cable before stripping the insulation. If the seal is threaded on to a cable that has been stripped both the copper conductors in the cable and the seal can be damaged.
- Push the seal about 5 cm down the cable with the narrow end of the seal pointing towards the cable end as shown.
Always use a seal of the correct size for the cable it is intended for.
