No, you either get another car or you call someone, get electrical tape or nuts

What did you use for the rest of the wiring, just electrical tape I'd assume?

If you use duct tape, A) just not smart and B) "oh I taped it, it'll be all right" and you'll say screw it and will never come back

Find a way to get ahold of electrical tape

Soldered and heatshrink-wrapped connections FTW.

I honestly didn't know anyone besides complete, absolute novices to the hobby vinyl tape-wrapped their splices anymore???

Ugh, I know. I just bought a winter beater and wanted to put in a HU that plays MP3s. Take out the old CD player in there and it was a huge, sticky, electrical tape mess.

what is a wire nut exactly? tape/shrink wrap is fine if you solder it btw...
