[s-cars] Fun with hatch wiring

[David Kase]

I have done this on my Coupe and it is a PIA.

I may suggest double heat shrinking the joint (you are going to solder 
them, right?).  And be sure to get good heat shrink, not the discount 
tool shed stuff.

If you can get to the wires in the hatch (I could not in my Coupe), you 
may want to put a solder joint /in /the hatch, run new wire into the 
body to a second joint.

This will give you two splices but you will have fresh wire at the 
crossover point.

Good luck,
Dave Kase
