Dr. Pepper would've sealed better

I don't know, the wiring is a mess and there was a box that said Alpine with some wires coming out on the fender, under the hood near the passenger headlight. And it has an Alpine head unit of some kind in it.

What's actually wrong with that?
One of the cables connecting to my car's ECU is secured in place by three small zip ties daisy-chained together to be long enough to wrap around the entire ECU.
The alternative was replacing the entire wire harness because the plastic tab that holds that one cable in place was broken, so the cable could be jiggled loose.

The correct term is jerry-rig
It pays homage to the ingenuity of the nazi.
>To fix an object (usually mechanical) to a working condition in a haphazard way. Also known as doing a MacGyver on it. This can apply to any non working thing, to fix it in a nonconventional way. This term was created during WW2, in reference to the Germans who were referred to as "Jerries" as slang. Allies often came across hastily repaired objects left by the Germans hence the term Jerry-Rig came to be.
Nigger rig just means to be poorly done. If it works give credit where credit is due, the nazi.
