Guest BLUIDGURL Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 haha..prolly a dumb question...but the wire for my dome light and clock is cut in half (don't ask why) i'm sure it's simple...but i have no clue, figured i would try and do something myself since no one else gets around to it..so just give me some kind of idea on how to do this.

slow4now Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Strip about an 1/2 inch of rubber off both wires you are trying to connect and then connect them together. You can use a cap connector, butt connector, you can solder them together or you can twist them together (the most ghetto way to do it). Be sure to wrap the exposed wire with electrical tape or heatshrink tubing. If you don't have enough length to join the two wires together, get another piece of wire to complete the connection.

Science Abuse Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 no one has mentioned the part about disconnecting the battery before doing any electrical work on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 soldering will give you a better connection, if you don't know how i have a soldering iron and i'm on spring break so I can do it for you won't take very long at all, hoblic knows how to get a hold of me if you want.

It looks cleaner and connects better. ~Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
