The only time a solder connection will usually fail is if it is in a high movement area. Then the wire flexes at the end of the solder and breaks. But, there are times this is not available presenting a problem. When the fuel pump wire on our 97 Cherokee failed I pulled one end up through the floor and made that connection up high where it would not flex. The other end near the fuel pump connector I soldered, doubled the shrink tube and firmly wire tied it to keep that section stable. So far all is working fine. I used similar tactics on the American and it has been flawless.

If we have a bad connection the customer is not satisfied and that means no business. After crimping solder the connection. You only need a little solder, pull the solder towards the heat with the wire in the middle. Never put the tip right on the wire. Finish up with shrink tube. It drives me nuts when I see old electrical work that relied on a twist of tape, no wonder they were having trouble. Solder is your friend, embrace the solder..... _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
