A well done crimp is _better_ than soldered in the vibration prone environment in a car. That's because to get the wire hot enough to solder it increases the brittleness of the wire making it more prone to breaking at the connector. That said, I like the total weather-proofness of a soldered connection. And a bad crimp is the worst. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
