The question is often asked, "Can supplemental restraints system wiring be repaired?" The answer is: it depends on the vehicle maker. Let's take a look at Audi's position on this subject.
Per the Audi Electrical Equipment General Information:
- For repairs maximum of 2 repairs areas can be performed.
- Perform the repair a maximum 30 cm from the connector housing.
- When repairing wires must be of the same length. When twisting together wires -1- and -2-, length of lay of -a- = 20 mm ±5 must be strictly observed."
Additional SRS wiring repair information can be found in the Electrical Equipment General Information manual.
