Electrical Connections and Circuits

NOTE: When working with electrical connections observe the following precautions:

^ Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting.
^ Be sure connector insulators and shields are in place and connectors are fully seated.
^ Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.
^ Never use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.
^ Avoid arcing or shorting when working on or testing circuits.
^ Do not probe wires through insulation, damage to the insulation can lead to corrosion of the wire causing system failure.
