Wire Repair: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To repair damage to sensor wiring and wiring harnesses, note following conditions and go to REPAIR PROCEDURE .

All wire splice connections must be staggered at least 2" (50.8 mm) apart.
Use proper size, waterproof butt-splice connectors on any exposed wiring.
Use heat shrink nylon splice to prevent water, salt, condensation and heat from affecting the wiring repair. Make sure heat shrink tube extends 1" (25.4 mm) beyond each side of repair.
Use transparent splice connectors to allow inspection of finished splice.
