Ok Planning out my NSS harness plug “plug-ectomy”. So far I’m still inclined to do this job myself. Cliffs notes: aging NSS plug had corroded connectors, is causing all sorts of electrical faults (dash lights, reverse lights, and shifting issues)...needs repair. So...
I have found a quality connector (Deutch 8pin “waterproof”) it come in a couple of flavors: Pigtail which involves soldering the wires in the engine compartment or a crimp version, which involves crimping tiny pins in the engine compartment. I’m not an old hand at soldering, but I do know which end gets hot. Ive soldered in the engine compartment on this rig already and its been successful. However doing 8 wires in this spot is not really getting me excited.
So I welcome the opinions of this community on what you would do. Crimp or Solder? The goal obviously being that I don’t want to do this again.
