^haha, stealing is bad.

you mean the wire came off? are you able to just splice and crimp in another wire connecting it back?

[terrastrife]

how about taking it out and using a litlte a squishy thing called a brain.

combined with a pair of pliers, scissors, maybe some tape, im sure you could work something out...

or run to the junk yard and get a 100% discount.

ok gentleman thanx for the help,so i can snip the piece from the junkyard and connect the

old wire part to the one i get from the junkyard?tape the wires together and that'll work???

If the wire snapped off the connector, then you should probably get a new one, or one from the 'yard as has been suggested. It will work fine IF it is the correct connector. That is, if it fits, and the colors of the wires match the old one. If the colors don't match, then it will work only if you match up which wire corresponds to which part of the connector using the old one as a reference.

If the wire broke somewhere after the connector, you can save yourself a bunch of trouble by just splicing the wire back together.

Either way, if you've never done any wiring before, I would get a friend to show you the basics of stripping wires, splicing, and taping (it's really simple), or just get a shop to fix it.
