Vibration Method: Notes

NOTE:
  • There are several reasons why the vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical malfunction. Inspect the following:
    • Connectors not fully seated
    • Wiring harnesses not having full play
    • Wiring harnesses laying across brackets or moving parts
    • Wiring harnesses routed too close to hot parts
  • An improperly routed, improperly clamped, or loose wiring harness can cause a wiring harness to become pinched between parts.
  • The connector joints, points of vibration, and places where wiring harnesses pass such as through the firewall and body panels are the major areas to be checked.
