I think I asked this a couple years ago. Just getting around to the project now. :-) I'm the not so proud owner of a Polaris ATV with a bad wiring harness. Butt splice or solder to repair broken wires? If butt splice, tin wires first? If butt splice, treat wires with "conductive paste to reduce/prevent oxidat= ion"? I think last time around someone mentioned there was a mil-spec or aircraft= spec that said to use mechanical splices. thanks chuckc --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
