Ghlkal, I have used these in the past in my electronics careers. Follow the instructions completely...
"For best results: Use a heat device capable of 500 °F. When using an open flame, do not isolate flame on one area of the tubing. Distribute the heat evenly. Failure to heat the connector until the solder is melted will result in an inferior connection. Overheating the connector may cause damage to the tubing. The use of an liquid flux is recommended, especially with used wire."
If you apply too much heat (overheating) the tubing will shrink and then split so practice a little until you gain the experience/confidence needed. Do use a liquid flux which will help guarantee a good solder connection as it will clean the copper for a good solder bond. I used a heat shrink gun (distribute the heat evenly) as a flame tends to discolor the connection tubing.
Usually the Blk/wht is a ground connection but not always. you can verify with a voltohm meter. Key in ignition troubleshooting chart on page 8a-76-1 and -4 may help with chime problem. Be careful under the dash as you have an airbag that could be sensitive to any kind of static discharge.
