T-Taps, Butt connectors 2 pounds of solder I've seen and heard it all...most of the time resulting in a headache and lost time. So i thought i would break it down and show the 5 easy steps to make a good quality and secure connection in a vehicle.

The 5 Steps are as follows:

1- Strip back the inulation of the wire you wish to connect to.

2- Seperate the braid to create an opening in the wire.

3- Insert the wire that is to be connected into the opening.

4- Close the wire.

5- Finally twist the wire around securing them togehter and finish it off with some electrical tape.
