Refitting

- Turn the ignition key to the STOP position and extract it.

Op. 5530B54 BATTERY COVER - R+R

- Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

1. Disconnect the electrical connection for the electric pump.

1. If fitted, work on the retaining clips (1a), then release the cable guide (1b) and remove it.

1. Work at the point indicated (1a) and carefully move the terminal lock (1b) until it stops; on the opposite side, work at the point indicated (1c) and remove the terminal lock.

1. Fit the tool (1a), release the terminal retaining tabs and extract it from the connector block (1b).

- To replace the terminal proceed as follows

These illustrations only refer to replacing an individual terminal for the connector block illustrated, but are valid for all families of connectors. If several terminals are being replaced, make offset junctions between them in order to restrict the size of the cable loom and thereby facilitate the subsequent refitting in the sheath.

1. Release the cable for the terminal to be replaced sufficiently to work and cut at the midway point as illustrated in the figure.

1. Measure the cable that has just been cut (1a), then cut the replacement cable (1b) 15 mm longer than the cable to be replaced.

1. Strip the new replacement cable (1a) and the engine prewiring cable (1b) for a maximum length of 10 mm.

1. Fit the thermal restricting coupling tube on the prewiring cable (1a). Starting as illustrated in the figure (1b) twist the strands (1c), then move the coupling tube (1a) until the coupling is covered with the tin ring (1d) by the twisted strands (1c).

A. Thermal shrinking coupling tube

B. Adhesive ring

C. Tin ring

D. Twisted strands

1. Using the drier (1a) fitted with the heat shield (1b) heat the thermal shrinking tube (1c) until the tin ring (1d) melts as illustrated in figure (1e).

Wait for the tin to cool down, then refit the wiring.

Removing

- Fit the terminal in the connector block checking that the retaining tabs are attached.

- Fit the terminal lock and the cable guide removed previously.

- Connect the electrical connection for the electric pump.

- Connect the negative battery terminal.
