Vibration Method: Notes

NOTE:
  • There are several reasons why vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical malfunction. Some of the things to check for are:
    • Connectors not fully seated.
    • Wiring harnesses not having full play.
    • Wires laying across brackets or moving parts
    • Wires routed too close to hot parts.
  • An improperly routed, improperly clamped, or loose wiring harness can cause wiring to become pinched between parts.
  • The connector joints, points of vibration, and places where wiring harnesses pass such as through the firewall and body panels are the major areas to be checked.
