    Roger, I use a 40 watt iron with a needle or small spade tip. You can find the "helping hands" at Harbor Freight. The jumbo is $6.99 and the little one is $3.99

    Those are both pretty neat, Ken. May have to run into town and pick one up just to have on hand - not much help under the dash, though...

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Under the dash I'll use a test lead, a length of wire with alligator clips at the ends, and clip one on what I'm trying to solder and find some place to wrap the other end to keep it all stable.
