Installation recommendations
Since exact assembly instructions for a specific car design are not available from the documents, below is a general procedure typically for replacing the electrical connection cable / USB harness. Exact steps may vary by specific model and interior design.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the new and original part by numbers 9687949180 and 6586ZS.
- Check the length of the cable, the type of connectors, the shape of the termination and the condition of the plastic latches.
- Check whether the cable is mechanically damaged, kinked or with damaged insulation.
- Make sure the contacts in the connectors are not oxidized, loose or pushed in.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- regular set of hand tools
- plastic pry bar for removing covers and linings
- cleaning agent for electrical contacts
- flashlight
- protective gloves
- optional tightening tapes for careful cable routing
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery before starting work, if the design of the car and the type of intervention require it.
- Access the area where the original USB cable or USB BOX connector is routed.
- Carefully remove the covers or trim so as not to damage the plastic handles.
- Disconnect the original cable from both sides and check the condition of the connecting connectors.
- Compare the old and new part side by side, especially length, connector orientation and cable routing.
- If necessary, gently clean the contact surfaces with a suitable preparation for electrical connections.
- Place the new cable in the route similarly to the original piece so that it is not stretched, kinked or in contact with sharp edges.
- Connect the connectors as far as they will go and verify that they click properly.
- Check that the cable is not pinched between parts of the paneling or routed through places of movement of mechanisms.
- Reinstall all removed covers and fasteners.
- Connect vehicle power and perform a basic functional check.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive / function verification
- Verify that the USB connection is responding properly after turning on the system.
- Check that there are no connection drops when manipulating the surrounding panels.
- Check the stability of the connection during normal use.
- After a short drive or test run, check again that the cable is not loose and rubbing anywhere.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Part exchange based on appearance – always compare product numbers as well.
- Insufficient snap of the connector – after connecting, lightly check that the connection is tight.
- Cable pinching under trim – check the entire cable route before final assembly.
- Mounting on dirty contacts – before connecting, check and, if necessary, clean the connectors.
- Excessive stress on the cable by pulling or bending – guide the cable freely and without sharp breaks.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- repeated mechanical stress when plugging and unplugging USB devices
- kink or pinching of the cable during disassembly and assembly of interior parts
- looseness or damage to the connector due to vibration
- oxidation of contacts caused by moisture or long-term pollution
- unprofessional intervention in the electrical installation of the vehicle
- normal wear and tear of the original wiring harness over time
