Routing and Protecting Cables General Wiring and Installation Guidelines
3-12 80-JB400-1 Rev. D
MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION
Special Exterior Routing Guidelines
• Always use convoluted tubing to protect the cables. Secure the cables to the vehicle with
tie wraps at approximately 18" intervals.
• Route away from exhaust pipes and moving parts. If an exhaust pipe or moving part must
be crossed, use extra tie wraps and route the cable in such a manner that if the tie wrap
fails, the cable will be caught or will rest on a safe part (not hot or moving).
• Seal all external holes for cables with refrigeration/tar tape or silicone sealant to keep
moisture out.
• Route cables with any existing vehicle cables.
Special Interior Routing Guidelines
• Route cables under kick plates or carpets.
• Avoid high foot traffic areas.
• When reinstalling kick plates or carpets, be careful that screws do not penetrate cables.
• Route cables with any existing vehicle cables.
• Use convoluted tubing and refrigeration/tar tape when cables are routed through interior
holes with sharp edges.
Storing Excess Cabling
• Secure excess cabling with tie wraps.
• Stow out of sight.
Service Loops (Drip Loops)
• Provide for all cables.
• Ensure that service loops do not cause any obstruction.
