I have a better idea: Cut off a donor plug, note which wires go where, then take the terminals out of both new and old plugs and install your car's wires into the new plug...

Yeah but you cant get the wires out. GM used a special coating for the wires for the weather, since they are outside. Splicing wires unless i do an awsome freak job, will get water in some where and blow fuses all the time. And probably when its raining and when I would need the wipers.

Soldering iron, heat shrink tubing, and a ton of electrical tape to wrap everything tight. That'll keep the moisture out...

3M makes this stuff that you can coat the splices in that basically turns into rubber to prevent any moisture from getting any. Hell we used that on my HUD project.

 

Solder

3M stuff

Electrical Tape

well the difficult part is getting the wires out of the donor plug, because of the coating

Get a can of Xylene or Toulene (look in the paint supply section of Home Depot, near the paint removers.) Either will disolve the "conformal coating."

solder, shrink wrap, tape. if that doesnt hold it you did something wrong. :thinking:
