[QUOTE="halogrinder, post: 1168313, member: 24127"] I've noted the color for you to poke at :D Grey with a brown tracer I stripped the factory tape back to gain access, and cut the wire to splice into it. Now, I use BMW crimps, naturally because I own a BMW shop. In my opinion they are *THE BEST* way to crimp a wire. The best. They look like Weatherpack or Deutsch connectors ends, and use a special crimper- but lemme tell you, if BMW allows airbag wiring repairs with these, then they are good enough for me. In fact, heres a video I made of how to properly crimp these wires. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUBjb_SOTis[/url] A proper splice, in my opinion is done like this. It keeps the wire from moving, and allows the assembly to be taped back into the harness without a ton of nonsense like a T-tap or something. The heat shrink I use is adhesive lined. If anything get adhesive lined heat shrink any time you use it. It really DOES make a difference! So, cut the wire, splice 'er in, tape the harness back together again with the factory tape, and you'll only see a red wire run in there. Plug that back in. Now, run the ground to where the factory grounds the trailer stuff, and zip tie accordingly. Give it a test, and verify it works. Job done! Total time for a home brewer: 2-3 hours w/ beer. Shop labor time? I'd charge 2 hours. Professional shop real time? About an hour. Banana scale? 1. Questions?
