Foreground....

I bought an EZWIRING.com harness about a year ago...didn't like how it was set up...so I ventured on my own. Before anyone yells or bitches about my techniques, I was an Electronics Warfare and Tactical Repair specialist in the US Army (33W)...it's not cars, but it's something....

3 wires...

taking from the EZ kit (my OCD demands continuity)...I use the female spade clips to do my splices. Proper heating of the clips is a must....don't use a giant ass solder gun, use a small Weller iron (don't mean to brand/corpo specify), the second most ($18?) expensive one at Lowe's. Google soldering techniques and go to town.

4 wires plus...

use the next size connector...

as I said, this is the first car I've ever wired bumper to bumper....but I completely re wired a US Army unmanned aviationel vehical in 113* heat in the AZ desert using the wires from the climate control from a mil-spec Hummer...

PS - learn your shrink wrap ratios...1/4" Ideal from Lowes shirnks 4:1...most only shrinks 3:1...Ideal is good for covering connectors...
