Wire Splicing

When splicing a wire, it is important that the correct gage be used as shown in appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

1. Remove one-half (1/2) inch of insulation from each wire that needs to be spliced.
2. Place a piece of adhesive lined heat shrink tubing on one side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long enough to cover and seal the entire repair area.
