Harness Connector Inspection

When an intermittent or open circuit is suspected it is important to check for a spread terminal. To accomplish this remove the suspect female terminal from its connector.

Check the female terminal for drag when mated with the appropriate male terminal. If the terminal is spread (no or little drag felt) replace the terminal using the procedures covered.
