I talked to many many installer they told me they dont' solder. Of course their time is money

but I've got time.. so I think I should solder everything instead of vampire taps..?

BTW, when it say find a wire, how do you probe it without cutting the insulation or cutting it?

Not always you can get to the harness itself.

Solder and heat shrink or use high quality 3M 33+ or 60 electrical speed tape . . .

You will use the end of the probe and pierce the insulation with the tip of the probe.

soldering is a good idea,,,as long as you tape or shring wrap everything good. Ive seen a few bad solder jobs smoke ign harnesses! As far as testing wires- just get a hooked pick tool to support the rear of the wire you are testing and a sharp test light or meter end and poke through the insulation. this only leaves a small hole
