AI caption · Photo 205 of 675

This is a simple illustrative graphic (not a full wiring diagram) showing how a wire tap connector is used. A red rectangular block labeled "Wire Tap" is drawn in the center of the image with a gray slot (representing the metal splice blade area). A wire with orange/green coloring passes vertically through the tap, and a second black/red wire enters the tap from the top and terminates inside it. A yellow arrow at the top left points upward with the label "To Vehicle Harness," indicating the direction of the existing vehicle wiring, and a yellow arrow at the bottom left points downward with the label "To Connector," indicating the direction toward an added connector. The graphic teaches the orientation of a quick-splice / Scotchlok-style wire tap: the continuous run wire goes through the tap toward the vehicle harness on one end and toward a connector on the other end, while the tapped (added) wire enters from one side. No year, make, model, wire gauge, part numbers, or circuit details are given in the image itself.
