Troubleshooting
Seal does not fit snugly
Verify that the cable size is within the 15-25 mm squared range specified for the seal. Ensure the correct Connect terminal (37393 or 37394) is used and properly crimped, as this affects the seal's seating.
Difficulty sliding seal onto cable
Ensure the cable is clean and free of debris. A small amount of dielectric grease can aid in lubrication, but avoid excessive amounts that could compromise the seal.
Seal does not create a watertight barrier
Confirm that the seal is fully seated against the connector housing. Check for any damage to the seal or the connector housing that might prevent a complete seal. Ensure the correct terminal is used, as it impacts the seal's position.
