wire repair Options

[mipstien]

the small metal piece sticking out the bottom, can it be opened? if not how should i go about fixing this? should i build onto it with an extension and put another wire there or should i cut into that piece and put a wire directly into it? or possibly just solder it?

anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it?

Solder it, though some will tell you that solder joints are not good for automotive wiring, but I forget why. You have solder joints in the 12 and 14 pin connectors in your wiring harness.

solder works pretty darn good , used in cars, airplanes, boats etc... much more reliable than press on connections . just have to do it right, no cold joints, clean joint, pre-tin both ends, dont use too much heat, etc...... The brain is full of solder joints as are wiper motor, head light motor fan motors, starter alternator, and the connectors mentioned. You car raido is soldered togther also.

NASA used solder on the moon rocket, and that saw a lot more vibration than your car will see. (you should see and hear the shakers NASA uses to test for thing like this!) they sound just like a rocket launch.
