IMPORTANT: Refer to WIRING REPAIRS  in order to determine the correct wire size for the circuit you are repairing. You must obtain this information in order to ensure circuit integrity.

If any wire except the pigtail is damaged, repair the wire by splicing in a new section of wire of the same gage size (0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm etc.). Use the sealed splices and splice crimping tool from the J 38125-B  . Use the following wiring repair procedures in order to ensure the integrity of the sealed splice.
