When soldering, make sure an adequate mechanical joint exists before applying solder. Use only resin-core solder. Acid-core solder
•
should not be used since it may result in corrosion.
•
For crimp joints, use butt-type metal barrel fasteners and the proper tool at the appropriate setting for the wire size (such as Motorcraft®
Crimp Tool S-9796) specifically designed for this type of work.
•
Make sure splice joints are adequately sealed and insulated. In an outside environment, use Duraseal® butt connectors or equivalent. A
durable substitute splice joint can be achieved by using a bare metal barrel, crimping, flow-soldering and covering with shrink tubing.
Quality electrical tape can be used inside the vehicle but is not recommended for an outside environment.
•
Make sure the new wire is not a lesser gauge than its original mating wire.
Recommended Splicing Method — Solder (For 16 AWG and Smaller Diameter Wire Only)
