High Temperature Wiring Repairs

2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, 2D Coupe, Standard TransSECTION High Temperature Wiring Repairs

Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:

  1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve.
  2. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.
  3. Gradually move the heat from the center to the open end of the tubing:
    • The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
    • A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.
  4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
