Reverse switch wiring snapped *URGENT*

[Davey_vRS]

Hello all, my reverse lights and sensors havnt been working so got myself a switch from euro car parts yesterday. Just took it all apart to find 1 of the wires has snapped. Am I best just stripping the wire back and putting a connector in? Also, the switch euro gave me has a spade connection on where as the one on my car already has a plug socket. Does the plug socket pull off or is it the wrong one.

Cheers

You probably just need to fix the wire - the current switch is likely to be fine. I put a connector in when it happened to me and wrapped it in electrical insulation tape and it has been fine for two years. Soldering wasnt an option as there wasn't enough length to make a sound connection (which of course the connector block helped with).

All sorted now. Just stripped wires and put a connector in. Working fine now
