SIR Connector (Plastic Body and Terminal Metal Pin) Repair

If damage occurs to any connector or terminal in the SIR wire harness (except pigtails), you must repair the connector using one of the connector repair assembly packs. These kits include an instruction sheet and the sealed splices which you will use to splice the new wires, the connector, and the terminals to the harness. You must use the splice crimping tool from J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit, to apply these splices.

The terminals in the SIR system are made of a special metal to provide necessary contact integrity for the sensitive, low energy circuits. You must use the terminals found in the connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute any other terminals for those in the assembly packs.

If damage occurs to the individual terminals on the DERM connector, repair them using the DERM terminal repair assembly pack. If damage occurs to the individual terminals on any other SIR connection, you must repair the entire connection using the appropriate connector repair assembly pack. It may be necessary to replace the entire SIR wiring harness.
