To repair damage to sensor wiring and wiring harnesses, note the following conditions and to go to REPAIR PROCEDURE .

All wire splice connections should be staggered at least 2" (50 mm) apart.
Use proper size, waterproof butt-splice connectors on any exposed wiring.
Use heat shrink nylon splice to prevent water, salt, condensation and heat from affecting the wiring repair.
Use transparent splice connectors to allow inspection of finished splice.
