    Question Fixing wiring?

     



    Hey guys i'm helping my friend work on is camaro, and i noticed his wiring looks like crap. So i told him i'll help him clean up is wiring, and i was wondering if anybody had any wiring advice and knew how to clean up those plastic connectors. I'm posting two pics to show what i'm talking about.

    Cut them apart, slide on a piece of shrink sleeve tubing, solder the wires together, then put some heat to the shrink sleeve to hide and insulate the connection......

    Hey Denny thanks for the suggestion and posting the pics.So i just cut and splice, and then crimp the wires and slip them into the connector? Correct.
