Stripping the cable for a cable terminal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. 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 section 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.
Always use a seal of the correct size for the cable it is intended for.
