Loose Connections (Terminals)
Loose connections (terminals)
To repair wiring and cable terminals, see Power and Ground Distribution; Service and Repair. Service and Repair
Loose connections in terminals may be caused by oxidation of the pins and sockets, or by a faulty connection of a cable to its cable terminal.
Loose connections produce the same faults as an intermittent open-circuit in a cable.
Checks:
- Inspect terminals visually according to "Inspect Terminals Visually". Inspect Terminals Visually
Continue according to Contact Resistance and Oxidation. Contact Resistance and Oxidation
