Thought about that, I need to get a closer look for damage. Concerned that an O2 wire needs to be stout or the readings will be off and cause a CEL.

18 gauge should be fine though 24awg wire would be more size appropriate. Splice with the 24 awg wire might look better too. The solder/connection quality will be more important than a slightly larger wire. Be sure to get some acid flux or something for good solder penetration/coating.

Where do you find the no shield butt connectors?
I may go to a boneyard but closest is about a 2 hr round trip. I may just try to get it back on the road and when It’s convenient, fix it correctly. It only gets about 2-3kmiles a yr now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ended up soldering a combo of the original wires and some 22 gauge wire I had from a stray part. Ran out of flux and time so maybe tomorrow if I can find some flux.
Funny thing, I wanted to take the wires off a junkyard car, just snip and crimp or solder and the two BMW boneyards I spoke to counter-offered that I could buy the entire wiring harness for $400-450 and cut off what I needed. Funny. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don't reattach anything until you find the short. Did I miss you finding the short?

Dreaded trans. Failsafe prog.
Yes, like you thought about midway between bank 1 and 2 most of the 4 wires had fused together from heat about an inch. The bank one upstream was shorting. I cut out the damaged parts and soldered pieces of same size wire as the four wires but ran out of flux and had other stuff come up before finishing. Oddly, no local stores sell electronic flux……tried to get a cell phone guy to sell me some but had to order from AmAzon.
I will test all the connections prior to giving it 12v. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
