Connector Repair or Recondition

Old car wire sometimes become hard and fragile.
This time I'd like to show some way to repair them.
First, cut wire from connector and leave some wire core to be soldered later.

Stand like these helpful for solder process.
Align the wire and put some solder paste.

It just like cooking with help from solder paste.
The solder will weld the wire core.
Try to make it shortest possible as this part will be hardened.
So, there is some flexibility issue.

Finish it with wire shrink.

This tutorial become useful when the connector is hard to find.
Be careful with this solution as the solder part will become hardened and may not suitable for component that needs flexibility of wire.
