i want to repair a wire that may be broken off on my abs connection to my buick century.if i find the break, can i splice it then solder it together? then shrink tube it. not that great with wiring, but a decent mechanic. thanks for your help.
I like how you said you worked on heavy equipment and plant type equipment. I worked at a asphalt plant for a lot of years. That's cool. I hope you do some more mechanical content videos. I have always liked machinery. Nice video.
@biguy525 I work at a concrete batch plant. We also work on the front discharge mixers and occasionally dump trucks and yellow iron. Our company has some asphalt plants but I've not worked on them.
great idea for vids. i have been working in machine shops since i got out of high school working on cnc machines and welding mostly im now up in our engineering dept. but i dont know dog shit about electrical and always find tips interesting. good job on getting some new vids out. take care.
@NSE54 Machining is a whole other level in my eyes.The machinist I take my automotive stuff to is a genius. I would like to dabble in it someday at a home shop. I've been welding most of my life. Take care. Thanks for commenting.
@74Hobbes You are correct. It's pretty simple...no magic here. You would be surprised at some of the rigging I've seen on cars though. I think people just don't know what is available at a reasonable cost.
Thanks for sharing a little bit about yourself. That looks so much easier with professional tools, instead of a beat up Leatherman and a roll of electrical tape that is all gooey from being out in the sun!
@HawkLMT Haha! It sounds like you have had some experiences with repairing things with what is available. I know what that's like brother. It's a great skill to be able to improvise. I really like your rust removal videos. I've been welding and fabricating for most of my life and I've never heard of that method. How simple! I've spent countless hours prepping steel by manual means(grinding, sanding, and wire brushing. Thanks for the knowledge.
@SnowLobo95 Yep, been there with wiring. I think my worst temporary fix was using a piece of bare fence wire to rig a light on a tractor, then taping the whole thing with duct tape to keep it from sparking out! We got light on the job, and got it done, but it was nice to fix it right later. try the soaking on some scrap and give me some feedback. I'd like to hear other people's results from that one.

do you connect the wires on the inside the thing you crimp? do the wires need to touch in the inside of the tube before you crimp them?

Great vid on what "seems" to be some fairly simple repairs. Thanks for sharing!
