1. Band clamp; 2. Insulating tape; 3. Fastening tape; 4. Fastening tape (clamp) with fastening in the hole; 5. Protective tube (cambric); 6. Self-adhesive foam tape.
The wire that is laid in addition to the existing wires in the vehicle when installing additional equipment should, if possible, always run along the existing wire harnesses using the existing clamps and rubber bushings.
If necessary, the new wire should be secured with insulating tape, plastic sealant, clamps or something else to prevent unnecessary noise during movement and chafing of the wire. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that there is a distance of at least 10 mm between the brake pipes and the wires, and a distance of at least 25 mm between the brake pipes and the wires that vibrate together with the engine or other parts of the car.
When drilling holes in the body, the edges of the holes must be cleaned, primed and painted. Any chips that fly out during drilling must be removed.
When performing any installation work with electrical wires, to avoid short circuits, it is necessary to disconnect the negative wire from the battery and secure it to the side.
Caution: When disconnecting the battery cables, in some cases the data from the engine and transmission diagnostic units, the anti-lock brake system and some other electronic devices, such as the radio and clock, are erased. Specific instructions are given further in the section "Removal and installation the battery".
When additional electrical consumers are installed, it is necessary to check in each case whether the permissible load for the installed generator is exceeded. If necessary, a more powerful generator must be installed.
