Iâ??ve had problems soldering newer terminals that are intended for lead-free
solder. Older lead solder doesnâ??t stick to some of them. Also, are you using
electrical solder?
I also remember trying to solder some very flexible cord decades ago that
looked like copper but it wasnâ??t. It was actually a thin ribbon of metal
wrapped around some kind of string. Really odd stuff.

Can you post a picture of the cord in question? There may be other
