Jumper Wires

Some of the electrical tests in this manual require the use of extra jumper wires to bypass a component or a portion of the wiring harness. For most basic electrical tests, jumper wires with alligator clips at each end (made or purchased) are sufficient. For tests involving harness connectors, hookup of jumper wires may damage the connector and cause inferior connections later on. To avoid this damage, jumper connections to harness connectors should be made using a small, flat-blade terminal which will mate properly with the connector. Use Volkswagen part no. N 17 457 2. See Fig. 4-15.
