If there are any multiplexing wires, or buss wires, generally you cannot splice them, their resrstence has to be just right to work. Pretty sure you have to use a correct factory harness with no splicing to have a chance of fixing you flood car. What was it that Lerch used to say on the Adams family?

I have read in previous posts that even though they are the same colour their diameters are different. I cant distinguish the differences between wires because they look identical to me. Another problem I am experiencing is that the new connector has some wires that my Mini does not. For example, their is a thick balck tube that has three wires joined together in it (black/yellow, black and transparent wires). I am confused as to what I should do here. I have attached a picture for those wires as well. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
