During engine assembly, it is absolutely essential to check the integrity of the wiring, including connectors, wires, and protective sleeves or conduits. At the same time, ensure there is no oxidation on the contacts, as this could cause false faults and lead to frustration at the end of the assembly.

Do not overlook the integrity of the wiring mounting points, which help maintain order in the engine compartment and prevent contact with hot areas or moving parts; if any of these are damaged, zip ties can be used to assist.
