So a little bit of stripped copper wire is sticking out the end of the connector, and is actually held in place between the male and female ends of the connector when they're plugged in? Might try that. Not an elegant solution, but I just can't seem to figure out the proper size wire to use...
Also (and this is for anyone reading), you know that plastic cap that covers the inside of the connector? The one you have to remove to install the jump cable? One of mine is missing. Any idea of a part number, or if this can even be ordered separately? I wonder how critical this is. Makes me a little nervous about washing the car...although there's no telling how long it's been gone. Weird, though, because it seems pretty snug on the other side and I don't now how it could've just fallen off. My headlights had never been messed with before, either (that I know of). |
Bingo! Exactly how I did it. Works 100% fine and is snug. If I ever find the proper jumper i'll swap, but too much work involved to take it apart otherwise.
