4. Slide a piece of dual-wall heat shrink tubing (provided in the pas-
senger air bag service kit) onto each wire of the previously used
vehicle wiring harness.
5. Fold each wire back and insert into the end of the heat shrink
tubing so that the end of the wire is approximately centered in
the heat shrink tubing.
6. Use a heat gun to shrink the heat shrink tubing and seal the wire.
7. Use electrical tape to secure the modified circuits to the outside of the wiring harness.
8. Locate the front passenger air bag service replacement connec-
tor that is taped back to the main harness. Unwrap the tape to
access the yellow service replacement connector and remove
the dust cover from the connector.
