Handling Wires and Harnesges
. Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with
their respective wire ties at the designated locations.
. Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks.
Slip pliers under the clip base and through the hole at
an angle, then squeeze the expansion tabs to release the
clrD.
After installing harness clips, make sure the harness
doesn't interfere with any moving pans.

T€sting and Repairs
. Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break
with electricaltape.
. After installing parts, make sure that no wires are
pinched under them.
. When using electrical test equipment, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.
. lf possible, insert the probe of the tester from the
wire side (except waterproof connector).
. Seat grommets in their grooves properly.
. Use a probe with a tapered tip.
Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for
identification and replacement of connector termi-
nals.

Rear Window Defogger
Function Test
1. Check for voltage between the positive terminal andbody ground with the ignition switch and defoggerswitch ON.
There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no voltage. check for:- faulty defogger relay.- faulty defogger switch.- an open ,n the BLK/BLU, WHT/GRN, BLU/YEL,
or BLK wire.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
POSITIVE TERMINAL
Check for continuity between the negative terminaland body ground.
lf there is no continuity, check for an open in thedefogger ground wire.
Touch the voltmeter positive probe to the halfwaypoint of each defogger wire, and the negative probe
to the negative terminal. Be careful not to scratch ordamage the defogger wires with the tester probe.There should be approximately 6 V with the ignitionswitch and the defogger switch ON.
. lf the voltage is as specified, the defogger wire isoK.
. lf the voltage is not as specified, repair the defog-ger wire.- lf it is more than 6 V, there is a break in thenegative half of the wire.- lf it is less than 6 V, there is a break in thepositive half of the wire.
23-112
Defogger Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken sectionmust be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section withfine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portionof the defogger wire with cellophane tape.
CELLOPHANETAPE
Mix the conductive paint thoroughly. Using a smallbrush, apply a heavy coat of the conductive paint
extending about 1/8" on both sides of the break.Allow 30 minutes to dry.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let itdry three hours before removing the tape.

the sleeve and not on the connector half.
SPRING-LOADEDSLEEVE
Connecting
1. Hold the pawl-side connector hall and press on the
back of the sleeve-side connector half in the direction
shown. As the two connector halves are Dressed
together, the sleeve is pushed back by the pawl. Do
not touch the sleeve.
When the connec-tor halves are completely connected,
the pawl is released. and the spring-loaded sleeve
locks the connector.
SPRING.LOAI'ED
24-22
Backprobing Spring-loaded Lock
Connectors
. When checking voltage or resistance on this type of
connector the first time, it is necessary to remove the
retainer to insert the tester probe from the wire side.
It is not necessary to reinstall the removed retainer;
the terminals will stay locked in the connector hous-
inq.
To remove the retainer, insert a tlat-tip screwdriver
between the connector body and the retainer. then
carefully pry out the retainer. Take care not to break
