Replacing Wires

Replacing Wires and Part Removal
When replacing wires, it is important that the correct gage size be used. Always replace a wire with one of the same or larger wire size.

Each harness and wire must be held securely in place by clips or other holding devices to prevent chafing or wearing of the insulation due to vibration.

Where removal of a part involves special procedures (lens and housing assembly sealed together, etc.), follow special instructions normally included in replacement package. Where removal of a part involves special seal items, such as seal washers under the heads of the lens retaining screws, be sure to replace items when reinstalling. Likewise, any body sealing (grommets, etc.) disturbed by wiring repairs or replacement should be restored during service to maintain passenger compartment sealing.
