I did, first thing. That is very sanitary and shows attention to detail... he done good.
As far as the soldering goes. First, most automotive wire is not tinned, so you need to make sure you get that done properly. If the wire isn't fully tinned, when you go to solder the connection, most of it will flow into the wire and you'll end up with a weak joint.
Assuming that the wire get's prepped and tinned correctly, when you solder the connection, while the solder is still molten, the wire and the terminal must not be moved. If either half moves, you end up with a disturbed joint, and again it will be weak and/or create a resistance at that point.
And finally, if you don't use enough heat, either through being in a hurry or not using a big enough iron, the solder won't flow properly and you'll end up with a cystilzed joint and that won't help things either.
A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.
