Warning: Handle wiring harnesses with care. Do not pull on wires or pry apart connectors with unspecified tools.

All connectors carefully connected and disconnected?

All added materials used to dress or protect the wire examined and maintained?

Harness wires checked for abrasions, scrapes, nicks, overheating damage, burns, or other general insulation damage?

All terminations with exposed wire visible at the connectors replaced?

Note: During troubleshooting and repairs, it may be necessary to separate a connector, move a harness, cut a cable tie, or remove the wire from a bracket. Note carefully the location of the wire and all protective or securing attachments before moving the harness.

After repair, all protective and/or securing hardware returned or replaced to its original condition?

Wire marker present at each termination? If missing or not readable, remark the wire for easier identification.
