[QUOTE="Atsah, post: 179896, member: 186"] I dealt with wiring harnesses for 25 years as an electrical engineer and a crimped connection is not as good as a soldered one.. I'm not looking for a pissing match here.. A properly soldered heat shrinked connection will last many more years than any crimp.. It is essential in something such as a vehicle that is exposed to various temperatures.. I'm not saying that crimps don't work.. I'm saying if someone is going to keep there vehicle for a long period of time, solder is the way to go.. If you consider what a crimp is accually doing, (mashing two wires together) and possibly not allways getting each strand connected.. Properly soldering two wires together they become one.. I have seen many times were crimped wired connections will cause an electrical device to fail due to low voltage.. [/QUOTE]
