Tom, you are incorrect. A solder joint under vibration can easily create a
resistive connection and it can be undetectable until it overheats. Please
review my previous advice and use a crimping tool that creats a very high
pressure crimp.

I agree. The crimp is for a solid mechanical connection. The solder
gives a good electrical connection and resists corrosion.
