AI caption · Photo 828 of 2004

This document is a one-page illustrated warning sheet about improper automotive electrical wiring methods. It opens with the headline "ATTENTION! VERY IMPORTANT!" and instructs the reader to "DO NOT resort to any of these 'wiring' methods!" A grid of photographs illustrates each prohibited practice, with captions identifying: twisted together wires, wire nuts, mismatched connectors, T-taps, a wire jammed into a fuse, broken butt connectors, bare wires, electrical taping of bare wires (spelled "Eletrical" on the sheet), and a generic "This!" example showing a poorly made crimp splice. Two additional photos show a cheap crimping tool captioned "Cheapest Crimpers Available" and a length of household wire with the underlined warning "DO NOT USE ROMEX." The sheet contains no vehicle-specific information, no year, make, model, part numbers, fuse ratings, or wire color codes, so it applies generically to any automotive wiring work, including the uploader's 1985 Ford Bronco. A reader learns which shortcut splicing and connection techniques are considered unacceptable and unsafe for vehicle wiring, and that household Romex cable and bargain crimping tools should be avoided.
