Super User retiredbosn Posted October 17, 2013 Super User Posted October 17, 2013 Finding the wire can be a challenge. As an option you can get long jumper cables, just check the gauge of wire. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted October 18, 2013 Super User Posted October 18, 2013 Oh and if you're extending instead of replacing, solder the wire together, then cover that with heat shrink Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Super User Posted October 18, 2013 Oh and if you're extending instead of replacing, solder the wire together, then cover that with heat shrink I was going to use liquid electrical tape and tape over that as well. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted October 18, 2013 Super User Posted October 18, 2013 I'm not familiar with liquid electrical tape, as long as the connection is solid and the covering as water tight as possible you'll be fine. Quote

Super User deaknh03 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Super User Posted October 23, 2013 awesome, thanks guys. I used 6 ga, coated it with liquid tape, then wrapped it with regular tape, done. Quote
