After this worked for a while I used the solder and shrink-wrap method. I never have had any luck with butt-spices. Thanks for the heads-up Tony.
I actually spent a good deal of time in the wiring section of my Haynes manual yesterday, trying to figure out a better way to run my hot lead from the compressor clutch. I even thought about trying to hook up the ACC to see if after I soldered it (cold joint fix I saw somewhere) that it might work, but my pea sized schematic brain-pan just isn't quite up to that much wiring...
