TCD Install Question...
Before you tell me to STFA, I already did and I came up with a good link (Linked at bottom of post), but I have one qustion.
According to the install you must cut and splice in the wires in parallel. My question is, can I use a simple wire tap to avoid all the cutting and keep the install clean and simple? |

You don't have to cut, just strip and solder in betwwen the two wires

I used wire taps and have had them in there for over 1 yr without problems.

Where are you located? How much driving do you do?
I only ask because I'm an avid commuter in Canada and I deal with 4 harsh seasons and about 40,000 km/year (about 25,000 miles/year)
