Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Secondary locking element
| The secondary locking mechanism is a housing catch (second
line locking mechanism) that secures all the wires in one
contact housing. If a secondary locking mechanism is fitted to a
contact housing, this must always be opened or removed using the
appropriate tool before releasing and pulling out individual
crimp contacts. |
| The secondary locking mechanism is different in colour from
the rest of the contact housing. This makes it easier to
identify the secondary locking mechanism and clarifies its
intended function. |
| The types of contact housing shown here are just a few
examples to show the different functions of secondary locking
mechanism. |
