Repairing Cut or DamagedWiring

If only a smallportion of the wiring is exposed (the wire has not been cut completelythrough), you can repair the insulation with liquid electrical tape or siliconeadhesive.

If the wire has been completely cut or it's hanging on by a few strands ofcopper wire and you’re skilled with a soldering iron you can repair the cutwire yourself. Repairing damaged wiring is easy and it can save you time andmoney, but care must be taken any time a soldering iron isused.

First, slide a piece of thin gauge heat shrink tubing over thewires.

Next, splice the wires together and tin the wire with a small amount ofsolder.

Finally, cover the solder joint with the heat-shrink tubing and heat the areawith a heat gun or blow dryer.
