Electrical Precautions
General
Avoid getting grease on electrical components and connectors. Grease collects
dirt, which can cause electrical tracking (short circuits) or high resistance.

12V Battery
The 12V battery used in Model 3 is similar to the lead acid batteries used in
most internal combustion engine vehicles. Lead acid batteries are sometimes
referred to as "flooded" because they are fi

Install
Use an IPA wipe to clean the high voltage mating surfaces of the HV
battery terminal, negative busbar, and the HV battery negative contactor.
Install the HV battery negative contactor into the penthouse, and then
install the nuts that attach the contactor into the penthouse.
