The new Milwaukee M12 battery ones are badass, that's what we switched to at work.

 

I didn't even think about soldering, or those solder shrink tubes. I just put the wires in butt connectors and crimped them down, I tried to put some heat shrink over it but it just covered the connector, so I will need to tape it up so nothing can get in there. I probably should have looked at better ways to connect it instead of using what I had on hand, but it all seems to be holding, it might not be pretty but it works haha

 

Crimp butt connectors will work temporarily, but they will also wear out/corrode/loosen with time. Definitely not a permanent fix.

 

Yeah and it really doesn't look good, the shrink tubs did not compress enough so it is definitely not water resistant. I will need to fix it with either those those tubes or solder, unfortunately I will be away for a while, so I will need to decide which one and fix it properly.

Car won't start I have a single black/white disconnected wire hanging in fuse box. Where does it connect? Picture attached.

 

That doesnt look like an original wire. Maybe someone used it to tap into power from the fuse box to something else. What is the other side connected to?

 

Don't know what it's connected to. Attached a picture of direction it's going, somewhere behind the brake.

 

Hate to say it, but you need to keep following the wire. In your first pic, is that black electrical tape on a white w/ black stripe wire the end of the mystery wire? Was it just twist-connected to something and then wrapped with tape? Could it have come undone and that's what's caused the sudden no-start condition? Any aftermarket kill switch/security installation that's come undone? Keep us posted.

 

Replaced the solenoids I see one has a small tear maybe from the squirrels getting in or trying to make a home in the engine. Did oil change changed spark plugs changed the ignition coils still same codes. Any ideas ? Might change the throttle body next as well ?
