Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair:

The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't apply. (Refer to GM Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

Step 1: Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for Weather Pack(R) terminals.

Step 2: Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

Step 3: Remove insulation.

Step 4: Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

Step 5: Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

Step 6: Hand crimp core wings.

Step 7: Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

Step 8: Solder all hand crimped terminals.
