How to solder a severed ECU return to battery terminal cable

简介

This guide will show you how to repair your 1984-1989 Toyota 4Runner / Truck’s ECU’s return to battery cable. Sometimes while off-roading the battery can come loose, which can then tug on the ECU’s return to battery cable. If this cable is severed, the truck will not run.
