Unless you got a resistor somewhere in the circuit a straight wire splice is not a problem. You only have to worry about current draw and the current output of the sensor, but usually you don't have to worry about that. You more have to worry about the type of output the sensor has a (varying voltage, digital, analog etc). But short answer is no, voltage doesn't just "split".

While I'm not an expert mechanic I am an electrical engineer who designs electrical systems for offroad machinary for a living, skid steers at the moment. (think those small bobcats)
