emperorjj1 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 im looking at chaninging my hvac controls (to the ssr) and the new ones finally came in... so my question is whats the best way to connect them to my cobalt... Personally i dont really want to do any cutting of the cobalt wires(to keep the warrenty) so im looking to make a plug and play type thing. Is this feasable? My main concern is the cobalt male adapter (id have to open up my climate controls and see if i could seperate the connector from the unit) Option 2 would be fuck the warrenty and cut the cobalt connector off to just repin the ssr connectors on and see if it works assuming i were to go the first route what size wire should i go with?

ChevyBoy Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemD...emId=1611729858 makes adding another wire super easy. you dont have to cut/splice into the original wire. just lay the wire into one end of the t-tap, and put the new wire in there and crimp/press the top closed.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 yea X2^^ Or any male/female connectors could be spliced in and retain the stock plug/harness. It's just like unplugging it and bypassing or making your own male female "plug" out of many smaller connectors one for each wire you need tapped. The side by side taps are easiests cuz no stripping/exposed wire to mess with just lay them lil wires side by side in the grooves inside the connector and pinch it and it cuts the sheathing, attaches to the wire and closes it off cleanly all in one motion. ~2cents.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Dude check out DisDatchevyboy's link^^^^^ It even has a pic of the connector for ya. They are about a cm or 2 squarish/rectangles and the size gets cut in half when u fold em over. I'm pretty sure you can get em for w/e gauge wire u are trying to tap up to 12ga maybe?...and that will determine what size to get. Take a look at the wires ur lookin at tappin and just buy accordingly.
