SUBJECT

Diagnostic Tip for Wiring Continuity Testing of Connector Terminals.

REFERENCE

Ford Technical Service Bulletin No. 86-22-11

CONDITION & CAUSE

Loose terminal connections in the wiring harness connectors may cause a number of driveability conditions. When diagnosing electrical wiring concerns, connector terminals can be spread or damaged by "jamming" the tip of the ice pick-type test probes into the connector ends. Modification of the probe tip for testing is recommended to prevent damage to the connector terminals. See Fig 1 .
