Proper Wire Splicing Techniques RKE/VSS/Remote Start System 1

GENERAL PROCEDURES

Proper SplicingTechniques

NOTE: Follow this procedure when a wire can bespliced without cutting the wire in half.

1. Strip approximately two inches of insulationfrom the wire to be installed in the vehicle.

4. Insert the new wire between the parted strands.If more than one wire is being spliced, wrapthem in opposite directions.

2. On the vehicle wire to be spliced into, strip oneinch of insulation form the wire.

NOTE: Use Rosin Core Mildly-Activated (RMA)Solder. Do not use Acid Core Solder.

5. Wrap the new wire around one side of the splitstands, then wrap it around the other side.

• Solder the connection.

3. On the vehicle wire to be spliced into, separatethe strands to allow the new wire to be placedbetween the parted strands of wire.

6. Wrap the connection with electrical tape so thetape covers the wires approximately two incheson either side of the connection.

• Tape the wires together as shown in theillustration.

NOTE: Use Rosin Core Mildly-Activated (RMA)Solder. Do not use Acid Core Solder.

3. Lay the upper strand of wire to one side, thenlay the lower strand of wire to the other side asshown in the illustration.

Splicing End to End Connections • Solder the wires together.

NOTE: When both ends of the wire are cut, usethe end to end wire splicing procedure.

NOTE: Follow the steps below for end to end wiresplicing.

1. To make an end to end connection, start bystripping one inch of insulation from each ofthe wires. Part each wire into equal strands asshown in the illustration.

4. Wrap the connection with electrical tape so thetape covers the wires approximately two incheson either side of the connection.

2. Place the wires next to each other and twist theupper and lower strands together as shown.

7. Referring to the vehicle specific wiring sectionfor the system being installed, gather allindividual wires that will be routed to the sameareas of the vehicle into groups. Cover eachwire group with electrical tape forapproximately 18’’. Depending on the vehicle,there will be 2 to 5 different wire groups. Trim the unused wires approximately 6 - 8’’from the module.

5. Plug the wiring harness(es) into the module.• A - Harness: 24-way, used on all systems.• B - Harness: 10-way, used on all systems
