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.
No, it is not recommended to put electrical tape around a spliced ground wire. The ground wire should be securely connected using a wire nut or another appropriate connector as specified in electrical codes to ensure a reliable connection and safety.
One splice that would work is a western splice.
* 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.
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.
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.
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.
The main ground should not have a splice to ensure continuity of the ground. The reality is that this is done in some cases. If the splice should loosen or be intermittent you will create a shock hazard.

I thought so. A buyers home inspecter says the splices,connections must be in a box "as per code".
It is not recommended to splice solid copper wire with stranded copper wire as they have different properties and may lead to a poor connection. It is best to use a junction box or a suitable connector designed for connecting different wire types to ensure a secure and reliable connection.
You don't need to solder a splice, but you may wish to depending on the environment. The key is to have a reliable joint that minimizes joint resistance. Depending on current, type of wire and application there are various splice methods and devices available. On any splice unless it is a ground, you want to just make sure that bare wire isn't exposed to cause a short or safety hazard.
One can easily be installed. Locate the wire that runs to the water temp sensor. Splice this wire to a switch and then off to a ground. When you flip the switch it will ground the wire and make the fan come on. Do not get confused with the oil temp sensor. It controls the HOT oil light, not the fan.
