I'm thinking but no luck with the soldering iron making the solder run to the bullet. Rosen was every where. The switch if too close to the dash to use heat.

Clem, don’t give up, soldering is not rocket science, but it does require proper methods, tools & materials like any other skill. There is a soldering iron or torch, along with the correct solder and flux for every job, and instruction material for every student. First lesson: Don’t expect first timer success on any project you haven’t practiced for. One small tip you might use on your particular application is to use a heat sink to prevent collateral damage.
