I offered to replace the connector knowing how easy it should be to just crimp on a new one.
WRONG!
After lopping off the defective end, I was shocked to find that the wire colors in the connector didn't match the colors in the chopped end.
With the flat side facing you the connector was as follows:
Empty,Black,Empty,Green,Black,White,Blue,Empty
The wires in the cable were: Black,Green,Bare,White,Blue,Red.
I couldn't even tell on the chopped end where the bare or red wires go. I searched the web up and down and found several people looking for the same solution. I never found an answer, so I resorted to surgery on the broken end.
I finally discovered that the red wire was simply not used, and the bare wire was surrounded with heat shrink to make crimping easier inside the connector.So, the correct pin layout is: Blank,Black,Blank,Green,Bare,White,Blue,Blank
I crimped the new end on, and voila. Worked FB.
Hopefully this helps anyone that find themselves needing to make this repair.
