Warning! Improper cable connections may result in short circuits which can
cause:
– cable fires
– triggering of the airbag
– damage to electronic control equipment
– failure of electrical functions (blinkers, brake lights, horn, ignition, lights)
Please note the following:
The following terminal designations apply for work on the vehicle cables:
30 (input from battery plus direct)
15 (switched plus, behind battery)
31 (return cable from battery, neutral)
L
Blinker left
R
Blinker right
The securest form of connecting is by soldering the cable ends and then insulating the
connection.
For releasable connections, use only insulated cable brackets, connector plugs and
tabs. Do not use lustre terminals (see I).
For connecting the cables with cable brackets, plugs or tabs, use crimping pliers.
For cable connections to 31 (earth):
Attach the cable with a bracket and toothed washer to an earthing screw on the vehicle
or screw it onto the metalwork of the vehicle using a bracket, metal screw and toothed
washer.
Always ensure a good earthing connection!
Warning! Because of the risk of short circuits, always disconnect the negative
pole of the battery before starting work.
In case of vehicles with a supplementary battery, also disconnect this negative
pole.
Caution! On disconnecting the negative pole of the battery, all the volatile
memories of the convenience electronics will lose their stored data.
