  1. Used to use that trick with alligator clips on diodes and capacitors because that would keep the heat from going into the dial and you saw it on the other side and the clip would act like a heat sink have a good day

  2. That's why I like the old cars you had wires and you didn't have all these computers and sensors and all that other stuff to go haywire make you crazy but I'm not as brilliant as Ray is them young guys they know technology God bless them have a good day

  3. I have that it drives me crazy cuz when I'm under the hood working on my engine and it's running I can't rev it from under the hood to keep it going if I'm doing a cleaning service have a good day

  6. I like that little dual alligator clip magnetic fixture you have but when I do a splice like that I twist one put them together parallel like you did overlapping and then twist one up and twist the other one down to kind of get them knoted together and then I solder it but that's just me I have a bench mount fixture like that with a magnifying glass so I can do circuit boards got at harbor freight for I know maybe 10 bucks but you did a great job great diagnostic man you know sometimes people do stuff and they could at least use cramps but some people don't even know about them hey great job Ray

  10. I have a 12 volt pencil soldering iron which I plug into a converter to step down from 110 volts to 12 volts or I can plug the iron into cigarette lighter in your car and I also have 110 volt Weller soldering gun for heavier work thank you have a good day

  11. There's a coil of wires there in the center console up front I'm wondering look like somebody was thinking around and left extra wire there just curious I think they left track somewhere have a good one good diagnostic

  12. Sometimes we all take different paths because of our experience but we end up at a common goal and solve the problem will work for me might not work for you or verse - vicy but again product is we fixed it and it works great and we did it right have a good day
    1
  13. Sometimes I take a little bit of fine sandpaper or Scotch-Brite just pull it over the wires to get that nasty green stuff and get them nice and shiny then I retwist them and it'll solder up great have a good day

  14. Silent two wires together before you do that make sure you have heat shrink for each individual set and then another bigger piece of heat shrink on all four that you can slide over later to seal the back and then get you a harness cover you know the ones with the little slit in it and then snap that over the whole thing and nobody will know you ever did anything and it'll look pretty too and it won't melt have a good day

  29. That's a great idea I mean the paste is a good option if you can find it but I used mainly use that when I was sweating pipes with solder but with browsing corset or if you get the wires right and you don't get them all oil and greasy you can sign them to be all right I would have put another jacket of heat shrink on all four pushed it back got everything together and then slid it over the back and then he trunk them all together in this way and make it nice and pretty in a little more water tight hey have a good day
