Background
In order to ensure good quality repairs of the wiring harness, a special repair kit has been introduced. This kit contains all the relevant cable terminals and sleeves with associated pliers. A cable stripper is also included.
It is absolutely essential to use the correct cable terminal or sleeve and pliers for repairs (the part number can be found in EPC). The cable terminals and sleeves are therefore packed in color-coded boxes with list of contents. The list of contents also specifies which pliers selling to use for the respective cable area. There is also a set of cable terminal pliers in the same colors as the boxes.
In order to repair OnStar and telephone connections from M01, a new cable terminal pliers with associated cable terminal box has been introduced as a complement to cable repair kit 86 12 079. The pliers and cable terminal box are olive green.
Important
It is extremely important to ensure that the crimp tools are used only on terminals from the box having the same color as the tool and that the right jaw position on the tool is used, as indicated by the list of contents in the box. That is because a mere hundredth of a millimeter can make all the difference between a good result and a poor one.
In addition to these boxes and tools, the case also contains two external compartments. One of these compartments can be used for storing contact extraction tool 85 80 151, for instance. The other compartment can be used for any other suitable equipment.
