Sensor wires broke flush

JimS · Oct 21, 2016

I broke the wires on an oil pressure switch. They snapped off flush. I know there is a way to solder these back on as I have seen it done a long time ago on a starter solenoid. Does anyone have any advice or a trick or two for soldering wires back on?

Thanks

use a rasor knife to dig a little around each broken wire. Use a good clean soldering gun or small iron and tin the new wire leaving a small blob of solder hanging on the end. Put the blob on the broken wire in the small crater and heat it, melting it onto the conductor. Jim

Use rosin core (electronics) solder and encapsulate in epoxy when done soldering.

I fixed a module on a Gleaner combine by drilling out the area around the wire with a Dremel moto tool with a small end mill style tip. It is easier to control than a knife. Then soldered the wire and filled the area with epoxy. It was a magnetic clutch, new price was $800.
