Yes indeed, as Jim has said I had a few electrical gremlins on my Porsche 944
and was horrified to find all the main wires just twisted together. I soldered
them correctly and avoided the possible fire.I never trust so called
professionals where cars are concerned.CheersJon

Since it was the ignition wire i expect at some point somebody had an alarm,
Immobiliser or a cutoff switch under the dash connected in there which was
later removed. Always worth investigating any non original bits of a wiring
loom. I had an alarm fitted to a Fiesta in the early 90's, it had to be fitted
by the alarm company to get the certificate for the car insurance at the time.
I watched him fit it and when he had done the wiring i said, "it's ok, i'll put
the dash back together later". As soon as he had gone i removed all the Scotch
locked in wires and soldered them all. Finding radios and alarm systems
connected in with just twisted wires is very common.

After over 17 years of having an intermittent fault on the ignition wire, I
Finally got around to looking at it this week as it was becoming a right pain
in the backside! I unwrapped 18” of the wire back to where it joins up with
the rest of the loom. About half way along I found some gaffer tape.........
Under the tape was a Really bad bodged join. Two bare wires had been put next
to each other and crimped/squashed together, then wrapped in gaffer tape. No
solder, no heatshink, no nothing, except hope.....! I have now replaced it
with a length of new wire (properly joined). It works now Chris G No
