Trailer Cable Inspection and Cleaning
m2+ m 54.01.000
- Disconnect the trailer electrical cables from the sockets at the cab.
- Inspect the cables and sockets for evidence of corrosion, and clean as necessary. If a socket is too badly corroded to clean, replace it. Freightliner recommends also replacing the socket's harness as well, if the corrosion has gotten into the wires and connectors inside the socket.
- Coat the inside of the sockets with a lithium-based dielectric grease such as Lubriplate FLP DS–ES.
- Connect the cables.
Important: If using a spray cleaner to remove corrosion, be careful to protect any surrounding painted surfaces.
