Wires that are to be laid to the vehicle's built-in wiring harness when installing accessories should, if possible, always be laid along the individual harnesses using cable ties and rubber bushings. In order to prevent noise while driving and to avoid abrasion of the wires, newly laid wires should be secured using insulating tape, plastic mass, tape cable ties, etc. In this case, special attention should be paid to maintaining a minimum distance of 10 mm between the brake lines and the rigidly laid wires, and a minimum distance of 25 mm between the brake line and the wires that vibrate together with the engine and other vehicle parts.
When drilling holes in the body, it is necessary to clean, prime and varnish the edges of the holes. The inevitable chips that form during drilling must be completely removed from the body.
When carrying out any installation work that concerns electrical wiring, in order to prevent short circuits in the system, it is imperative to disconnect the battery ground wire (-) that connects its pole to the car body, and hang it to the side.
Caution! If the wires are disconnected from the battery terminals, the fault memory device in the engine and transmission control system and in the anti-lock braking system, as well as other electrical devices such as the radio and clock, are deactivated under certain conditions, and the stored values are erased. Special instructions on this topic are provided in the section "Removing the battery".
If additional electrical consumers are installed, it should be checked in each case whether the existing three-phase alternating current generator can be additionally loaded. If necessary, it is necessary to provide for the installation of a new generator with a comparatively higher power.
