Note: COBAN requires the use of shrink type connectors only for waterproofing purposes; please remember to
apply heat to shrink the ends of the connectors. Failure to shrink these connectors as prescribed may result in
VOIDING THE COBAN WARRANTY if there is exposure to corrosion or moisture in these electrical connections.
WARNING: The use of “Vampire Clips” and “Scotch Locks” is NOT ALLOWED by COBAN due to frequent failure
and connectivity degradation over time, and said use thereof will VOID THE COBAN WARRANTY, unless the
following criteria are followed explicitly:
- Only allowed when used to tap into the vehicle factory wire harness
- Only 3M™ brand T-taps and spades are allowed
- Allowed for use to tap into only the factory wire harness of the brake sensor circuit, gunlock sensor circuit, and
door sensor circuits
In addition to the installation of these specified taps, each connection will be further secured by wrapping with
electrical tape, cold shrink tape, or heat shrink tubing.
