Troubleshooting
Connector not locking securely
Check if all terminals and seals are fully seated in the housing. Ensure the connector halves are correctly aligned before attempting to mate.
Wires pulling out of terminals
The crimp was likely not performed correctly. Re-crimp the terminal with the specified tool (Laser Part No. 7002) ensuring a strong, secure connection. Inspect the terminal for damage if the issue persists.
Water ingress into the connection
Verify that the grey weather seals are properly installed and fully seated within the connector housing. Ensure the cable is the correct gauge (1.0mm²) for the seals to function effectively.
Difficulty inserting wires into housing
Ensure the weather seal is correctly positioned on the wire and that no stray wire strands are obstructing the entry. Gently twist and push the wire into the housing cavity.
