How to splice car electrical wires?
I need some instruction! How do I splice the electrical wires in my car on my own?

You’ve got a good DIY on your hands. You’ll need to invest in an affordable professional crimping tool and a roll of electrical moisture sealant to
splice car electrical wires
. Try to have the necessary tools for this project before you start. You’ll need a crimper, butt connectors, and electrical moisture sealant. It will help you save on time and frustration.
Instructions:
- Crimp the connector: Strip the insulation so that only the bare wire is inside the connector, then make a single crimp on each side of the butt connector.
- Cut the moisture sealant: Cut a section of the sealant to cover the entire connector, leaving a ½” on each end.
- Seal the splice: Double it over and squeeze it together with your fingertips.
If you cannot splice your car’s electrical wires on your own, a mechanic can get it done for you quickly. Unfortunately, not all car trouble gets resolved so quickly. Thankfully, for more considerable trouble, Jerry can put you in contact with excellent insurance providers.
