I know it's not broken off unless they did that on purpose as part of the OEM factory assembling process. As far as I can tell, it just crimps all the copper stands together so they easily fit into the terminal and can be clamped down with a single screw to make the connection.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check both those pages out. Any idea what the 2nd connector is even called or what type it is?

I’m far from an electrical expert and in need of some help. I’m replacing some connectors and would like to know where I can get these same models. (1) This 16-14 AWG female spade connector. I found some at my local hardware store, but they didn’t have the small first crimp that crimps the...

Thanks for the replies and link for cable suppliers. So I looked at the OEM remote cable last night... this is what's printed on it... (UL) E518287 SJTOW 4x1.31mm² (16AWG) VM-1 105°C 300V So type is SJTOW, 4 connector, and 16 gauge correct? Is the AWG some type of "special" 16 gauge cable or...

Thank you. I didn't get a chance to look at one of the cables last night. Hopefully tonight. Appreciate the help!!

Thanks for the image. I was originally going to do the splice method but after all the feedback, I'm going to try to replace the entire cable on 1 of them and see how it goes.

Thanks. It'll be a good spring project to try.

Thanks. I guess I'll find out. Appreciate the heads up.

4 conductors but I'm not positive on the gauge yet.

Thank you!

Good point about testing, thanks. I need them to be around 14' in total length minimum but could go longer. You lost me a little with "tape foam" where would you do that?

Thanks.

Thanks! I don't have any supply houses locally. I was going to try and order a length online. Any ideas of sites where I could do that? Maybe by the foot or smaller lengths less than 500'?

I was going to just wrap the splices in tape.. not too professional I know but figured it would work. But after reading all the replies on here I'm now thinking I should try to replace the entire cable. Like I said, I'm no electrician, so a little nervous to try that.

Thanks. Yeah, I figured I'd be voiding the warranty but honestly, I'm not going to use them all the time and I can't use them standing on the ground without a longer remote cable so I guess I'm willing to take the risk.
