Can someone please help me with some pointers on a procedure to wire and fit recessed flush-fit window sensors? I have installed a few and I'm just not very happy with my work.
I am using a Western Union type splice with solder and the problem that I'm having is stuffing the wire down into the 3/8" hole. It's like pushing a car up hill with a rope, the wire bunches up in the hole and the switch is very difficult to get into the hole.
I came up with one procedure that helped. I took about a 6" length of bare 14awg solid copper wire and taped it into the wire harness from the base of the switch on downward making the wire stiff enough to push down into the hole but the wrap is a little thick and it's still hard to assemble.
Any tips?
TIA, Mike.
