Electrical System: Connectors: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the terminal, wrap a thin wire around the tester probe before inserting into terminal.

When a tester is used to inspect for continuity or measuring voltage, insert the tester probe from the wiring harness side.
