Stripping the cable for a cable terminal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. 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.
