A previous owner tapped into the wiring harness with a
T-Tap to get power for something (something that is no longer there), and now I have two partial cuts in the black and yellow power wire for the left tail light. The cuts are circled in yellow in the picture below.
The taillight is currently working fine and it seems that very little if any of the conductor wires under the insulation were severed.
I have the engine out, so it will never be easier for me to take action on this.
What would you do?
1. Cut out that section, solder in a patch and cover it with heat shrink?
OR
2. Wrap it with electrical tape and call it day? If you suggest this option, would you put some dielectric grease or something on the cuts to help prevent corrosion?
OR
??
