Ok, um, how does the crimper tool make the connection??? Does it bite
trough the shield, insulator, and stuff??? Ok, maybe I can relate
another way. Anyone out there know how to run, install, or work on
network cables (CAT 5 lets say)???? If I remember right, when you run
cat 5 stuff. You cut the shielding to expose the individual colored
wires. You shove them into the connector, and the tool bites down on
the plastic phone piece cutting into each individually shield wire, thus
making a perfect connection. Does anyone follow me here??? I have one
brass connector end, and one completely cut wire.... Hmm, kinda puts my
in a how in the world do I position. The wires a cut completely, the
shielding is not stripped, the wire core does not stick out of the end,
cut flush all the way through....

        I jumped into this topic a bit late, but I believe what you need
is the proper
        plug wire crimper, not just a soldering iron. I've got the
correct tool for
        Accel 8mm wires, but I'm not sure what size wires the Mopar ones
are. You may
        want to check the local speed shops, or Jeg's or Summit, to get
the correct
        crimper, which will ensure that you get good contact between the
terminal and
        the conductive core of the wire.

        Hope this helps...
