    Wiring is so much more complicated with modern computer controlled engines. Trying to connect different systems together and then backwards to the old wiring is even harder. One wire or even incorrect impedence can mess up the whole thing. You are organized and methodical and will get it done eventually. As a licensed electrician and an old (former) car stereo installer I'm impressed. You've got this!!

    The reason we get so many bizarre, half-assed, rat's nest wiring jobs on even professional installs is that nobody takes the time to explain things like you are doing in these videos. I think it's great that you're not only showing how to use proper tools and techniques to get the job done, but also setting expectations that this stuff takes time.

    Appreciate the “one ought” witticism. Also, to remember Ohm’s Law: Rain is ‘Eavy over India. Draw a triangle, pointy at the top, with a horizontal line across the middle. Into the triangle, at the top write E of ‘Eavy, under that write the I of India, and next to I write the leftover R of Rain. Put finger over the one you want, and what is left is the calculation needed.

EDIT 3: Nice work on the ground and power busses. General aviation procedure USED to spec soldered repair connections, but it's changed to crimps because so many techs couldn't solder correctly. Solder, done right, is way mo better.

    I absolutely love, love your videos (somehow you make wiring videos interesting). I have been a mechanic for 30 yrs and you truly know what you are doing. I admire your tenacity, fearlessness and attention to detail. Also your humor - You take the innuendo right to the edge but you never cross the line. Cheers!

    Watching and listening to you solving problems is joy, end-to-end. I at once admire your patience and willingness to do whatever it takes to get it right, respect your unusual level of knowledge, and envy that you can put enough time together to do it.
    Thumbs up on leaving extra wire on purpose until everything is terminated. I find it is always needed.
    Finding original crimps to put in the terminal housings, eliminating splices, was a triumph of research, and will pay off huge in reliability. Kudos!
    More thumbs up on very robust power rails. Makes up for a lot of other slow decay due to corrosion, simplifies troubleshooting later.
    I may be sensitive on the issues of vibration and corrosion. For 33 years I have maintained a fleet of 3-4 motorcycles that I store under the sky full-time. Minnesota is a climate where there is a 176°F difference between the hottest and coldest it can get, it rains and snows a lot, and we salt our roads. I have seen things that you are not likely to see in Tucson.
    While your B+ tree will work fine if unmolested by time, vibration and chemistry, I would have run B+ directly from a central connection point (bus bar?) to each load. A continuous insulated wire is always more robust than a crimp or a solder joint. I wouldn't do this with everything, but I would for the power rails. Ground especially. Chassis are shitty grounds especially as they rust.
    Re soldering v crimping, IF you have crimpers with the RIGHT die for the job, terminals with the RIGHT gauge for the wire, and enough leverage to cold flow the wire (crush it until it turns a little inside out, with fresh metal exposed to the terminal before it sees air) then crimpers are definitely best. Advantage is the joint is less prone to cracking because the stranded wire is not stiffened by solder.
    OTOH, if you use old 60/40 solder, it is softer so its joints don't fatigue crack as readily as lead free, and if you immobilize the joint so it can't fatigue, solder makes a great connection more easily. Lead free is a no-no when joining wires on moving machinery.
    You are a treasure of the automobile world!

    As an electrical engineering degree-haver, you did fine explaining those parts. You can get real far with just Ohm's law.
