RE: Those wires in the door jam...

[MSV96@aol.com]

In a note dated 5/13/97 Ron Woods details the procedure to fix broken door
wires...Great post Ron! To add to it I would suggest that all soldered
connections be strain-reliefed such that they are never subjected to any
flex. In marine product catalogs I have seen marine grade waterproof crimp
connectors which may be a great alternative to those not inclined to
soldering. I second the butane soldering iron as being the weapon of choice
(I use the weller pyro-pen jr.)...comes in very handy and the hot air blower
tip is great for lots of things also. I understand this problem also happens
in trunk hinges, and really anywhere wires are flexed so be aware of this
when doing electrical troubleshooting!
