a. Remove 6 inches (15.24 cm) of insulation (1) from both sides of break in wire (2).
b. Cut off 3-inch (7.62 cm) piece of damaged wire (3) with damage in middle of removed piece.
c.
Measure and cut a piece of new wire (4) to replace damaged piece.
d. Strip both ends of new wire (4) and two free ends of wire (5)
NOTE
When crimping, be sure to make a good electrical and
mechanical connection between terminal and wire.
e. Install and crimp splice (6) on each end of new wire (4).
f.
Install and crimp and new wire splices onto free ends of cable wire (5).
g. Wrap two splices and wire 1 inch (2.54 cm) each side of splices with electrical tape.
