Don't tell me you soldered stranded wire? That is a major no-no.
Stranded wire must be crimped, never soldered. Soldering causes breaks
of the individual tiny wires where they enter the solder blob when the
wire is moved or bent, thus creating poor conductivity, which in turn
leads to heat buildup and in extreme cases even melting of the solder.

where in the world did you get that idea? soldering stranded wire
works just fine.

He's right about it causing breaks in the strands at the join between the soldered & unsoldered portions. Crimping (with strain relief) is usually better.
