Default What method to lengthen sensor wires?
Do you guys just use crimp connections, or do you solder wires when you lengthen them for a sensor relocation?

Solder, and glue-lined heat shrink.

When I moved my IAT I bought a new connector that came with about a foot of wire for each of the two leads. That way I only had to have one slice per wire instead of two.
