You know it just sounds like a great place for flux entrapment and all
kinds of nasty stuff that will happen.  As far as I have ever seen if you
have crimp connectors then that is what you do.   As for corrosion, it
seems like he would have more with soldered wires as well as cracking
problems.   I think the best place to start is at the connector
manufacturer they should give all the reasons not to solder

We have a customer who insists that we solder our crimp connectors (after
crimping).  He has had corrosion problems and is convinced that this is the
best solution.  Is this a good thing?  Are there any downsides we should
point out to help educate him?
