With the low current and voltage wires in the Saturn vehicle, it is best to use approved Packard Electric Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves (or equivalent).
1. Put connector seal (if equipped) on wire and strip approximately 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) of insulation off the wire.
2. Remove insulation from the end of the cut lead and the harness. Recommended strip length is 9.5 mm (3/8 in.). Caution must be used to prevent cutting the wire strands.
3. Determine proper sleeve for gage of wire.
4. Position stripped ends in sleeve until wires hit the stop in the center of the splice.
5. Hand crimp using the approved crimping tool. Gently tug on wires to make sure they are secure before applying heat to them.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO APPLY HEAT TO SEAL.
6. Apply heat using Ultratorch(R) or some other device, heating to 175°C (347°F) until glue flows around edges of sleeve.
7. Check for continuity.
8. Insert the terminal into the connector. Check to make sure the terminal lock tab is engaged by gently tugging on the wire.
9. Replace any terminal position assurance (TPA) devices.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
