AHHHAAAAAaAaaAaaaaa....
Some dork put jap shack, stake-on's with tongue and blade connectors onto
the wires, using his $4.95 Kmart special, wire crimper from the automobile
aisle... Why dintcha say so in da foist place? (even if the dork is the
factory, the allegation stands)
Get some "good" like AMP aerospace quality, ring lugs and the proper die
set, and stainless star washers like I said, and replace those oxidized
beauties and life will be good again... (btw, the oxidation is between the
collar of the stake-on and the wire strands because it was not a gas tight
crimp)
Cheers ... Denny
off to fight a war, or save the universe, or something...
ps: you could still have broken strands in the wires at the tie wrap, 2
inches or not...
pps: tie wraps touching wires without padding underneath are verboten on any
aircraft I take responsibility for for good reasons...

Actually the terminals are male female slide in connectors. There are
no nuts, bolts and star washers.
