Don't be soldering your automotive electrical connections

I've been meaning to write this article for years now and my recent VBOX install finally gave me the opportunity to do some crimping.

I see, hear, and read about folks soldering their in-car electrical connections all the time and it's generally a bad idea. Crimping it the proper way. Solder just turns your ductile stranded core wire into what is effectively solid core wire (for the affected region), which is fine for homes but has no place in an automobile.
