Parts specialist febi continues to expand its febiPLUS range which features a wide variety of specialist products across many different product areas. One aspect of the range that many garages have now discovered is the availability of Wiring Harness Repair Kits.

These kit can not only save huge amounts of time, they can also eliminate the need to replace the complete wiring harness when only one part of the cable is broken, thus saving the customer considerable expense.

The repeated use of doors and the tailgate causes mechanical stress on the wiring looms located between them and the vehicle body. The PVC wiring isolation loses its flexibility over time, and if the wiring harness is exposed can lead to fracture or deformation. This can sometimes mean a break in the wiring which in turn can mean an open or short circuit of the wiring loom.

Damage can also mean connection to switches and actuators in the door or tailgate can be interrupted. e.g. window regulator motors, rear window wiper, door mirrors and many other central electrical components. This leads to failure codes being stored in the control unit and the affected components not functioning.
 
Generally, only the complete wiring harness is available in OE form, so even if only one part of the cable is broken, the entire wiring harness has to be replaced at considerable time and expense. febi offers a convenient and cost effective solution with over 115 kit references. febi has kits available for doors, rear doors, tailgate lamps and headlamps, with one solution for one model covering all model variants.

The kits are high quality, manufactured in Germany, with isolation made of silicone, which is more resistant to thermal stress and stays flexible at any temperature. The flexibility helps to prevent cable breaks making the wire more durable than the PVC often used with OE wiring.
 
Braids of the wires are tinned with a thin coating of the exposed end of the wire to prevent corrosion and can last 10 times longer than non-tinned versions. The wires are extra fine-wired for flexibility and to prevent corrosion on the braids due to contact with moisture. Each kit also contains all the components required to complete the repair.
