solder the connections, shrink wrap ,and liquid electrical tape.You won't have to do it again.I had connections that were constantly wet with salt water that lasted ten years with that combo on an old boat that I owned.

Soldering is not difficult if you have rosin core silver solder and a good soldering iron.Just don't try to do it with old corroded wire.Strip a half inch of each side of the connection wire push them to gether and let your iron get good and hot before you try. if you can pull it apart when your done your not done try again.
Ps 3 dollar soldering irons don't work very well.go to frys and spend 40$ and you'll never need a new one.
