MODEL: Quattroporte

SUBJECT: Clutch Sensor Harness

In any event where the clutch housing must be removed (e.g., clutch replacement,
throw out bearing replacement), the part of the harness extension traveling from the
rear trunk wiring harness to the clutch sensor connector must be modified. The
purpose of the modification is to help reduce the potential of the formation of
condensed water on the cable near the connector.

NOTE: This operation is only to be performed on Quattroporte up to and including

Assembly # 17584

Please perform the following procedure when the clutch housing is replaced:

NOTE: Make sure that key is OFF and vehicle is cold when performing this
procedure

1. Locate the clutch sensor connector on the extension (the connector housing is
denoted as K038 in the technical documentation) of the rear trunk wiring loom
(See Figure 1, red highlight).
2. Bend this extension in order to form a “U”-shape. The gap between the
connector housing of K038 and the bottom of the newly formed “U” must
measure 80mm (see Figure 2).
3. Use electrical tape to adhere both parts of the newly formed “U” so that the
tape is positioned 20mm from the bend (see Figure 2).
4. When performing this modification, make sure not to stress the harness at any
point.
