Quick Wiring question

Post by Carmany »

I know how to solder two wires together, but looking at the wiring diagram it sometimes has one wire being split into 3 to solder. Pic: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg47 ... /wire1.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So do I just wrap the 3 wires together and solder those?

Ya...or you could just solder one into the connection then bridge the connections
This place is fun.

I don't think all of those need to be connected anyway, the groups each go to the same leads.

So would I do this: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg47 ... /wire3.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Instead of: http://images.meredith.com/diy/images/2 ... 023_06.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sure if you want.

If you are dealing with the main ground wire though, that is considered to be a pretty bad way to do it. All the grounds should have the shortest possible wire going to a /single/ point. In the daisy-chained situation, you start to have problems when a large current causes a potential difference along the chain. Everything sees a different voltage as "zero" and suddenly nothing is absolute.
