7 General information on the
electrical connections
7.1 Laying cables
As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings
for the connecting cable duct, e.g. the paneling edges, ventilation
grilles or blank panels. If no openings are available, you must drill
holes for the cables. Check beforehand that there is sufficient
room for the drill head to come out on the other side.
Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause
malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installation of
cables and connections is the basic prerequisite for lasting and
trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.
Caution!
The cables may not be exposed for long periods to solvents such
as benzine, as the solvents can damage the cable.
Please observe the following instructions:
Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better
protected inside than outside the vehicle.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well
secured (use additional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them ensure that there is
sufficient distance to hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes,
drive shafts, light systems, fans, heater etc.). Use corrugated piping or
other protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.
Wrap the insulating tape supplied around the plug connections of the
connecting cables and every connection on a cable (including inside
the vehicle) to protect from penetrating water (see 0 B, page 5).
When laying electric connections, ensure that
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection
(see 3, page 4)
