you know you're gonna have a great day when you've done half a dozen joints in the morning 🤣

That is actually quite an innovative solid connection, well done! The kit without the torch is affordable too, ready for future wiring jobs. Go Danni, go go go, Danni be Goode 😂
Yeah supper handy! Cheers!
That was lovely of you to fix car for mum. Very clever. Have great Easter. 😊
Thank you! Hope you had a good one
That’s a clever connection. A very Happy Easter to you both.

Nice one Joe, Glenn & Marion 😊
Thanks for watching!
I swear by soldersticks make life so much easier Definitely earnt some major son brownie points there.
Yeah just glad to get it fixed for her really!
Another great vlog Even though it was a simple fix, it would be a daunting task for some. You showed just how easy a small but important repair can be. It would be interesting if you could have the job quoted on by a service centre and see how much you saved your mum.
Thanks Henry! Yeah it’s probably an hour or so labour for them so maybe £150 with the parts
I can comment on this, as yesterday I had my nearside rear cluster repaired. A few years ago the offside cluster failed in a similar way, so it’s a common problem - apparently due to the earth wire not being up to the job. I had the offside fixed at the dealer, which cost an eye-watering £273 back in 2017. Yesterday, I had the nearside fixed at a local garage for £90. I just asked them to run a new earth wire and replace the failed bulbs. I was happier with a “dirtier” fix as I’m not planning on keeping the car for much longer now. But, it’s possible the dirty reoair will work better in the long term as when Audi fixed the offside cluster they replaced it with parts that will hit the same problem later anyway.
I could’ve done the repair myself in hindsight, but I wasn’t 100% sure it was the same failure at the time. I had the usual telltale signs of the car warning me that the nearside rear lights were failing. First the side light, then the brake light, then later the indicator and reversing light. Additionally though, and this was the thing that made me wonder if it was a different failure, was that every time I touched the brake pedal, the reversing chime would sound and the car thought it was being placed in reverse. This was disconcerting to say the least!
It all turned out to be the same problem, the burnt out ground pin on the connector.
For the first time I've ordered a product from a video sponsor!!
Looking forward to receiving my solderstick pack!
Aw amazing! Let us know how you get on with them!
Good video thanks lee
Thank you!
Another ace video 👍👍
Thank you!
well done Joe.
Thank you!
The main benefit of these connectors is soldering for those who can't solder.
Definitely makes it easier if you can’t solder!
how do you know what wire goes where?
The plug is stamped with the numbers 1-6 which is handy otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue!
The coloured rings are hot melt glue to seal the ends.
Ahh makes sense!
Hey bro, how do you Know which color correspond to be connected with?
There’s little numbers stamped into the holder so just go with one at a time starting at one and it should make sense 🙂
u should redo that ground from that melted connector to car body , then main reason it's that the oem ground it's too weak to keep up
So even when you take a day off you work.😊
No rest for the wicked!
why don't you use dielectric grease on the plugin
I’m not that professional!
Just done mine its an earth fault common on audi tt not a indicator fault.. You need to earth it correctly or will happen again..
🤍👍
Cheers!
Not a single bird! You must be a happy man right now.
😂😂
Not for me this week a advert and dodgy electrics connections bye
This video isn’t for everyone, it’s a very specific problem & titled as so. Unfortunately TH-cam revenue doesn’t pay the bills
