(105°C). The cable should be protected from surfaces that
exceed this temperature, from physical damage from mov-
ing parts, and from chemicals or oil that cause the insula-
tion to deteriorate. Route the cable so that it does not
interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehi-
cle.

aligning the connector pins to the power connector; push
down on the watertight connector and twist it to fasten
securely.
