This is a common problem as I stated in your first post. I know that mine is not original, but I cut each individual wire on both sides then put new male and female detachable ends on. If you go to a good electrical supplier and get good quality ends and heat shrink tubing. That way, you can still remove the steering column if needed. Each wire will be separate rather than in a plastic connector, but It has run flawlessly with no chance of a meltdown. Hope this helps. Paul.
