Terminating circuits

Im rewiring my engine bay. Is there a right or wrong way to terminate unused circuits? For example Fog light relay and circuit. I no longer need it or want it and the less crusty wiring the better. Can I just cut off the relay and terminate the ends (not what I would like) or fish back to the C100 and remove there? Also have no need for the fuel pump, maf relays by the booster.

Re: Terminating circuits

I would suggest removing all the wires all the way to the connector, then remove the terminal from the connector with a small screw driver so there is no risk of the tape, or what ever you use, to come lose and short out to ground.

Re: Terminating circuits

I've used this product for many years.

My first choice would be what scooter suggests. But dipping the ends in a couple of coats of this would probably do the trick.
