Good day everyone GarageKing here and if you have a broken ABS wheel harness it
looks like this the end piece will look like this then stay tuned because we're
gonna fix it on today's video this way you don't have to buy the whole harness
so here you can see where it was pulled out this is the end piece here I'm just
gonna remove this part here from the spindle that just unclips
and we can pull it right out and then put it on the bench there you can see
I've just unclipped it and there's how the wires actually supposed to go
together so now you can see on the bench we have it on the bench and if we pull
the rubber piece off right here and it is tight I should make note two just to
let you all know this one in particular is from a rabbit so it's a VW piece it's
from a rabbit I believe it's a 2007 rabbit so that's what this one's from
now as you can see I have my little tool here now this one's made for
disconnecting electrical connections within factory fittings and it doesn't
seem to be working let me speed up the video because I've tried a whole bunch
of stuff and actually on Aliexpress I just ordered another one recently that's
got like a whole bunch so that one might have it but this one little tool I have
the red one background just didn't seem to work so that's no good so we got a
device another plan so now this is working so let's try to cut it off with
this razor blade if this works worst case scenario if I record we're just gonna
have to put a whole new harness in and now will be a great time for me just to
remind you to please subscribe trying to grow my channel so I would really
appreciate if you would just hit the subscribe button thank you very much now
let's get back to you back to this video you can see I'm getting a little
frustrated here and it is just not working so I think I may have come up
with an idea okay so I thought if we can't cut it off let's just use a
grinding wheel and take it off this week because we got to get to those wires
down in underneath so now that I got the grinding wheel here I have a little bit
of trouble starting it I'll just tap the finger there we go it'll start what I'm
going to do is take off the top piece of the plastic and I'll put up a little
magnifying glass in a second just so you can see there
we go right there where that red part is there because we don't want to cut right
through it the blade on this thing is made for metal so cutting through this
plastic is really really easy and what we are just trying to do is take off the
top part so we can attach new wires to the already very very short wires okay
so here we're gonna go we're gonna finish cutting it up speeding up the
video here we'll get my pliers and then we're gonna pull off the end and show
you just how much we have to work with which is not a lot and there you go
quick little freeze frame there and you can see we're gonna have to attach new
wires to this piece so what I'm doing now is I've just twisted them I've used
my wire stripper and I have stripped the wires and we're just preparing them
because I'm gonna use a heat shrink and we're gonna put some heat shrink crimp
type tubing onto the wires and then hopefully this holds we'll see them out
100% sure but hopefully it holds we're doing an experiment but well let's see
folks okay so these are the little of plastic things here but the problem is
they're too long because we really don't have much wire polka notes what I'm
gonna have to actually do is just cut the ends off the one side that's going
to be actually touching the connector the other side we don't have to okay so
you can see I've crimped one onto the connector you can see one's actually
attached now I'm just gonna grab another one and do the same thing I just got to
cut the end off one of them and then what I'll do is I'll crimp it it seems
to be working so far so let's cut the end off this other one here and we will
crimp it on all right let's try this out so now we're back at the vehicle and I'm
going to crimp our connector onto the factory harness wiring so there you can
see I got my crimping connector tool so going to do that and then once it's on
now what I have to do is apply some heat so what we want to do is shrink that
heat shrinking start with a heat shrink tubing but whatever it is these heat
shrink connectors we want to shrink them right down so this way we get a perfect
seal and no moisture can come in there now is a little bit worried about them
bending so what I decided to do was put some loom
here and then what this will do is it'll help hold it straight so you can see
there I got the loom on top and then what I'm gonna do is actually put
another piece of loom on top of this piece of loom now the second piece of
loom that I'm putting on top is a bigger piece than the first piece so I think
the first one was like quarter-inch and the second one was like 3/8 and then now
you can see I'm just applying some RVT silicone and I'm just making sure that
I'm really basically filling the area as much as I can okay so here now I'm just
gonna speed up the video so I'm just gonna tidy up the harness the biggest
thing is to make sure that you have the wiring loom on all the way down to the
bottom and you have a bunch of silicone because that'll harden and they'll get
really rubbery and it'll protect it from bending so you shouldn't have a short so
I don't know how long this is gonna last but hopefully it lasts better than
buying a new harness the other thing I'm doing right here is you can see I'm
actually taking some electrical tape this will help strengthen it a little
bit so that's pretty much it for my video so hopefully you've enjoyed it if
you have any comments please leave them below that's how it looks when it's all
done so it actually looks okay we're just gonna plug it in now there you go
so please consider subscribing to my channel like I said if you have any
comments please leave them below that is it for now
GarageKing over and out there's a freeze frame so it's all done
