Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: How to Repair Aluminum Wires
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE HANDLING OF ALUMINUM WIRES
If an aluminum wire is damaged (e.g. broken), never perform the repair method for copper wires (soldering).
Never perform electrotap for connecting broken aluminum wires.
To secure the wire fixing strength (a force to protect aluminum wire from being disconnected from crimp terminal) and electrical conductivity, always use the dedicated harness repair kit and caulking tool [SST: KV99112600] when repairing broken wires.
HOW TO DISTINGUISH ALUMINUM WIRES
Wiring color: Lavender (Color code: LA)
HOW TO REPAIR BROKEN WIRES
Insert heat shrinkable tube
into the target aluminum wire 
beforehand.
Strip wire terminal approximately 10 mm and insert it into crimp terminal
.CAUTION:
Check wire size and use appropriate crimp terminal.
Set crimp terminal to the die (tooth) of caulking tool [SST: KV99112600].
CAUTION:
Use appropriate die (tooth) of caulking tool [SST: KV99112600] according to the crimp terminal size.
Apply load until the handle of caulking tool [SST: KV99112600] is released.
NOTE:The handle of the specified caulking tool [SST: KV99112600] is not opened until crimping is completed.
After crimping both sides, pull wire at both ends to check that they are not disconnected from crimp terminals.
Cover the crimp terminal with heat shrinkable tube
and heat the tube with industrial dryer 
.
After heating heat shrinkable tube
, check that adhesive is squeezed out from both ends of tube to the entire perimeter.
Wind insulating tape
around heat shrinkable tube for the purpose of waterproof and anticorrosion.
HOW TO EXTEND WIRES
When repairing a broken aluminum wire, it can be extended by connecting aluminum wire with copper wire by using crimp terminal .
