Major Timmy Prob (Wire)

[Graham-DV8]

Was fitting my new solenoid (cheer's Pheonix), and while doing so managed to disconnect a wire from its clip.

I know the pics not great, but can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement part such as this?

For those that are wondering whats up the black wire should be to the right of the Red one.

I've done that before and mended it OK.

Stip about 2mm off the end of the loose wire, insert and I used glue gun glue to hold it in place but I presume super glue would work.

Worked for 18months after the fact.

I'd already though of that, but wondered would that effect the connection?

Just re-crimp it.

you can buy pre-crimped wires with molex crimps from RS.
Just solder the pre-crimped wire to the black one(heatshrink afterwards), remove the old crimp from the housing then pop the new crimp in.

on mine the connector was still intact, I think the wire was like 3 or 4 core, so I just striped the end off, twisted them together then bent the stripped part in the middle a bit so that when it was in the connector it was wedging itself in to get the connection as well as being held in with the glue.

Yeah, I've done that very same thing with the same result, worked just fine. Not that it wouldn't be a better idea to recrimp it, but that works if need be.
