Resistor wire
<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width="100%">I need help!
I was trying to install aftermarket power windows, and in doing so I did not realize that I had "spliced" into the Resistor wire that runs from my ignition switch to my control module.
I ended up ruining the insulation from the ignition terminal to where I had the splice (about 1.5" in length).
I did not realize till after I made the mistake that this particular wire (red/green) was labeled " DO NOT CUT OR SPLICE".
What is the best way to remedy the situation? I can not seem to find anywhere that carries this type of wire and i sure don't want to re-wire the entire truck!
I hope someone out there has run accross this and can help.
Thank you in advance.

I found the reistor wire at a salvage yard off a 1978/1979 ford pickup.
I went ahead and crimpped/spliced in a piece of about 4.5".
The truck seems to be starting and operating fine except that said wire is warm to the touch!!!!
Is this normal? Is this safe?
