[VAC] Re: wire nuts VS crimp connectors

[Jim Dunmyer <jdunmyer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Todd,
  Neither one is really suitable for under-vehicle splices, but the 
factories seem to use 'em anyway. Especially wire-nuts. If the wiring is 
unlikely to be disturbed (IE: lights), I'd solder the connections and 
cover with either shrink tubing or splicing tape. (a soft rubbery stuff 
that vulcanizes itself into a solid, impermeable mass) I'd probably use 
Wire-Nuts on the brake magnets, filling them with either plain grease or 
dielectric grease. Then, making sure that they're tipped with the closed 
end 'up' so as to not collect water inside.
