Victor Normandy Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hi, I was wondering how they splice that many wires at the factory ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crwoody Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Usually done with a "Header block", looks like a multi-way connector that's not actually plugged into anything, all the separate wires connect together internally. Some are multi circuit where there's more than one circuit in the same block. There are quite a few around, some behind the dash and a couple in the seat box next to the engine ECU.

Victor Normandy Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Yes i know about them and they are usually specified and numbered. But if i look at A339 on the picture it doesn't say anything more than being a "splice" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I've seen a lump of wires soldered together, and/ or sometimes with a copper crimp around them, then wrapped in cloth tape then loom tape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 As Gazzar says I've also seen crimps used on a fair bit of Td5 era loom joints, Disc 1's had a couple of header type blocks for the earth points I remember in the footwells, quite a tidy way of doing it.

If I have to do a splice like that I solder & use glue-lined heat shrink to keep moisture out and support the join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Normandy Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Ok, thanks a lot for your feedback i guess i'll solder and heat shrink ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
