I recently ordered a new radio for my car and I am going to have to crimp the wires from the new radio with those from my custom wiring harness. I am a little confused with how crimping works. I will be using insulated butt connects. When the two wires are pushed into the butt connector from the opposite sides do I crimp in the middle where the wires are touching? Or do I crimp on the ends of the butt connector? Please help!
You will need to make two crimps per connector. The stripped wires will not connect at the middle of the butt connector because it is not hollow all the way through. Just make sure you have a high quality crimping tool so the connection will be tight. The crimps should below the ends of the connector about midway to the center.
