I just picked up a johnboat and trailer, the trailer wiring is actually decent except that the flat four connector is not getting connectivity from the plug. I cut the plug off and verified connectivity to the end of the loom, lights work independent of the plug.
I picked up a new plug, typically I'd lineman/NASA splice the wire in, solder and heat shrink.
This is stranded wire on both sides , I just discovered the mesh splice for multi strand wiring. I'd also solder and heat shrink.
The lineman's splice has more strength but this is just the joint between the trailer wiring and vehicle and will have no tension.
What's the best splice in this instance?
