Troubleshooting
Connector not seating properly
Ensure the terminal is fully inserted into the connector housing and the locking tab is engaged. Check for any obstructions or bent pins.
Poor electrical connection or intermittent signal
Verify the terminal is correctly crimped to the wire. Check that the wire gauge is within the specified range (0.35-0.5 mm²). Inspect the terminal and connector for damage or corrosion.
Weather seal not fitting or loose
Ensure the correct seal is being used for the wire gauge and that it is properly seated around the wire and within the connector housing. Trim excess wire insulation if it prevents the seal from seating correctly.
Terminal will not crimp securely
Ensure you are using a compatible crimping tool designed for automotive terminals and the specified wire gauge. Check that the terminal itself is not damaged.
