Note: If using repair version 1, stop the wrap at the point you are splicing the repair cable into the
vehicle harness. After the repair cable is spliced in, continue wrapping both tapes to fuse block. Ensure the
splice points are staggered.
• First wrap the cable with textile tape N 107 292 04 (blue) (Figure 6), then again with textile tape N 107 516
03 (grey) (Figure 7).
• Both tape wrappings must overlap by 50%

the end with textile tape N 107 290 02 and wrap the remaining wire securely onto the interior wiring
harness
• Cut the original power supply wires back in the area of the driver’s door sill, ensuring sufficient working
space. Seal ends which are cut off with textile tape N 109 290 02.
