Thank you for the suggestions. I will pull the boot back off, clean the grease off the piston and install a new boot. I ordered some silicone paste to do the job correctly this time. @egber: when you say whip it apart, do you mean disconnect it from the brake line and completely dismantle the caliper and clean all its parts ,or do you mean leave it in tacked and only clean the grease off the piston? I have no problem doing either method, one just requires more time than the other.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I ended up cutting off a harness at a junk yard and soldering it on. It was more of a pain than usual when trying to solder. The surrounding temperature was fairly cold, so the flux burned off before the solder would melt making for poor flow. I eventually got the harness soldered on securely. That ziptie suggestion was a good one, but I’m sure eventually the tie would loosen or break from vibration and heat.
