In the dumpster behind my shop. Man. I wish those things would just go away..... far far away. I cut an average of 20 of them a week out of vehicles, I'm saving them all to box up oneday and send back to the shop in town that uses them, along with an invoice for wasting mytime with fixing their crappy connection methods.

Gus/Jrilla That was a good one. I must agree they are really worthless. I tried them 1 time over a year ago, and that 1 time was all it took. I will always perfer the soldering medhod myself, you just cant lose. I dont own or work for a shop and I do this stuff on the side, I must say I have had a couple of people bring there cars to me because of problems and guess what the problems were?

Well as far as T-taps go every one has their opinion. Sure soldering is best. We do solder critical conections on certin vehicals. But for the most part if they are use correctly they work fine. With the hundred and hundreds of cars I have done over the years very few have come back due to a failed connector. I have had more problems with the conectors on the remote starter unit than anything else! We have been in bussines for over 17 years and give a life time gaarantee on all electrical work.

Zero. Zip. Nada. Hell, we did twist and tape here for 5 years, and no comebacks that way either.
Here's the thing. Maybe the Ttap works on a harness that never flexes, never moves. Never has much temp. variance. However..... what do they do on a harness that moves a bit (tilting column), or when you can have a temp swing from -45C to +10C inthe space of half an hour when you get the car warmed up (Hey, it gets cold up here.... real cold.) I just do not like them a bit. And besides, it looks like a snake that swallowed a big, yellow, lumpy POS when you take things apart and see those cursedplastic POS. I hate 'em with a passion, I wish the factory would self destruct.
Cruel irony..... the company that makes probably the electrical tape out there is also cranking out Scotch Locks by the billion.

No T-Taps here! Solder it up for the permanent install. This seems to be a hot topic. ------------- Jeff
