Power wire

Today I had a power wire go bad on a tractor it was making the lights on the trailer shut on and off and or simple not work at all. Here are some pictures...


As you can see the wire was rubbing against a bolt. But also there was a bad connection at the plug as well...


Here is the plug after I cut all the wires off. The bolt that tightens the wire to the plug has rusted off.

 
That's the plug pulled apart.


Cleaned all the wires up.


And here is the final fix replaced the plug with a new one and put heat shrink around the wire where it had rubbed through. 


As you can see I installed a clip so that the hose won't rub against the metel. All in all I leanred how to fix a rubbed through hose with heat shrink. With out replacing the wire. And how to change the plug.
