    • Look for corrosion or burnt wires.

    • If there are any bad connections or if there is visible damage, replace damaged wire and solder.

    • After soldering sand off jaged solder then wrap with electrical tape

    Tin the broken wires with Rosen core solder and do not overuse the solder. Heat one side pretinned wire and place the other pretinned wire on that till the solder melts together. Remove iron and cool and you should have a quality repair. Don’t forget to add heat shrink before doing the connection.
