professional install or not?

Hmm! I only mentioned two different careers, although it's been three. But I am sensing my mortality.......enough said. Well, this thread topic has gone off course.............See ya's all tomorrow, I'm sure! Good Night and Merry Xmas to all.

God, I need to get a life!

I have been in college for 10 years and have 5 electronics degrees. Solder and shrink is the best BUT!!!!!!! The factory doesn’t even to that!!! Sad really. BUTT type connectors are the same as the factory connections. Using a hot iron is not smart inside the car so many things can go wrong. THEN AGAIN T-TAPS MAKE BAD CONNECTIONS. So do scotch locks, they are cut type connections. Why are they bad???? Because the surface area for the connection is small and when that small area gets corroded the connection goes bad.!!! BUTTS ARE THE BEST FOR AUTOMOTIVE APS..

Chris Fraser installing since 1985 I have an EET degree “knowledge is power”     

I have found that you can generally remove the gauges and use some really good double sided tape and mount the sillie thing to the dash( on the inside of corse silly) thiere will be no way in most cars to even reach the brain from underneath adds about 30 min. to most of my installs.... looks real clean though...

I usually charge about 50 dollars for the extra work, I also like the t-taps makes it easier to reach them darn hard spots with clumpy hands   hehehe...
