Car audio wire used as extention for yellow and red ignition wire

[Jaysalman]

can I use a wire from a car Audio radio player to extend my red and yellow ignition wire that goes to the slave solenoid on my 3.0 merc 1989?

No!

What could I use, just as a little extension I noticed the wire wasn’t straight at some point it was bended so I cut it

 

[GA_Boater]

It was bent so you cut it? Wires are always bent. You probably cut off a good wire.

Use the same gauge of marine wire as what you cut off.

Well I was having some issues with the starter just clicking so I thought mayb it was bad through that wire
but yeah we’re do you think I could get some of that wire and how to figure out what gauge wire it is

Skip getting wire. Go to the auto parts store and get some waterproof crimp connectors. They have a sealant and heat shrink tubing. Put the ends of the wire back on.

Then start troubleshooting why the starter clicks. Could be the battery or corrosion on battery cable connections.
