Strip the wires back about 3/4" and then using lineman's pliers twist the wires together about 2 turns. Tighten a wire nut securely to the connection. Then tape the splice securely with electrical tape.

Do you put electrical tape around a spliced ground wire?
No. When you splice a ground it needs to be made by accepted means and the splice must be inspectable. Covering the splice with tape prevents inspection.
If you ground wire is not long enough can you connect 2 wires together and then ground it to the grounding post?
* Yes. Extending the ground wire will have no adverse effect and will properly ground the device. * It is important that the splice be accomplished properly. That means that the extension conductor [wire] be of adequate size to carry the load, the surface of both conductors at the splice be clean and free of corrosion which could impede current flow, and a sound [both mechanically and electrically] splice be made.

How do you fix a ground wire in a car?
Try wrapping it in electrical tape... depending on what is wrong with it, remove it from the battery and clean the terminals, splice the wire if broken, or remove it from where it connects on the other end and clean and reassemble. a ground wire isn't that big a deal.
1991 ford e150 tail lights are not getting power?
check the fuse, if it is not blown, your tail lights may be missing ground, locate the ground wire on your tail light socket, then get a wire and a metal thumb tack, push the thumb tack thru the ground wire and splice the extra wire and wrap the bare wire around the thumb tack, turn your tail lights on and touch the bare metal of your van and see if it lights up, if it does lights up, just splice it and reconnect to the new ground source, hope this help you out :-)
What does the term - wire splice - mean?
A wire splice is the joining of two or more wires together. Commonly this is done with an approved wire joining nut. All slices are to be made in junction boxes to prevent fire should the wire splice become unserviceable.
How do you by pass the bank angle sensor?
Find the sensor... Usually there are 3 wires running into the sensor. 1 HOT, 1 GROUND, and 1 return wire. Just short the GROUND and the RETURN wire together with a splice.

Must bare ground wire splices or connections be in a box?
I thought so. A buyers home inspecter says the splices,connections must be in a box "as per code".
