General safety measures
- Qualified personnel: Work on electrical systems in the vehicle should only be carried out by persons with the appropriate electrical engineering qualifications.
- Disconnect the battery: Before starting any work on the vehicle’s electrical system, it is essential to disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery in order to de-energize the system and prevent short circuits.
- Manufacturer’s information: Always follow the specific instructions and safety instructions of both the switch manufacturer and the vehicle manufacturer.
- Insulated tools: Use insulated tools whenever possible, especially if you need to work near live components.
- Work environment: Provide adequate lighting and do not work in damp conditions, as water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
Installation and cabling
- Suitable components: Make sure that the switch and all connecting components used are suitable for the specific vehicle model and intended application and comply with the relevant EU directives (e.g. E-approval).
- Circuit protection: The new circuit must be additionally secured to prevent overloads. Use a suitable fuse holder (e.g. blade fuse holder) with the correct amp rating for the connected load.
- Cable routing: Plan cable routing carefully. Route cables along the safest and shortest route, avoiding sharp edges, moving parts, or hot areas (such as the engine compartment). Use existing ducts or grommets to protect the cables.
- Secure connections: Use high-quality connections such as ferrules or heat shrink tubing to create a permanent connection and prevent wear or accidental loosening.
- Marking: Label or mark the wires (e.g. with colored tape) to facilitate future maintenance or troubleshooting.
Testing and commissioning
- Function test: After the installation is complete, carefully test the operation of the switch and the entire circuit before fully restarting the vehicle.
- Periodic inspection: Regularly inspect the installation for signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
