Uh, am I screwed? Any way to fix it?

Yes, I am a dummy. I should have known better and just left it alone :x
I tried to tug it out along with the rest of the stock prem sound wiring past where they're routed above some sheet metal and sandwitched below an air duct. Well, since its a connector it snagged on the metal and SNAAAP! F********CK! Since its shielded and everything am I just plain SOL? It becomes part of a fatty wiring harness too I think, that doesnt seem fun to unwrap and lay down a new wire... any suggestions?? :|
Why did I even try to pull it? I wasnt thinking. I was planning on routing it with the rest of my new speaker shit.

My week and a half before Washington gets more interesting by the day, and more work to do, too :(

LOL, cry me a river, at least you cannot stand in your engine bay due to lack of motor ;) :D


in terms of the connector, hit up a radio shack, you should be able to trim some of the wire back and recrimp/solder it with a new connector

[Justin B]

Yeah, but your projects are planned! Mine keep finding me ;)
I'll see ya there.

I did the same thing not too long ago. I searched and couldnt find a replacement connector, so I replaced the entire wire.

Does it indeed become part of a big wire harness? How much did it cost and where did you get the new wire? I'll probably try to ressurrect this one but just in case.

new wire is cheap man. mite as well replace the whole thing while yer in there....but, aftermarket wire wont hook up to stock antenna.....

[Justin B]

haha well then that kinda sucks if ya get more wire to fix one end and the other doesnt work ;P! If at all possible Id rather not dig into a complete wire harness and pull out a shitload of antenna wire at least before I leave anyway.
