You could go to a salvage yard and pick up the harness+
connector. The solder the wires and heat shrink the wires
in a convenient spot. This way everything stays factory.

I agree…If i might add though……do one wire at a time even if the wire colors are the same.

Hmmmm so this will be a very pricey repair

I dunno how much a salvage yard would charge you for a DLC but i can’t see it being very costly at all, maybe even free cuz they should have lots of them. Solder and shrink tube isn’t that expensive either.

I would say that you should be able to repair it for the price of a case of beer.

Assuming you have a soldering iron that is. Even then, a cheap $20 iron is all you need.
