Hi folks,
Discovered this morning that my string lights have frayed enough to break away from the rest of the cord. Unfortunately it broke right at a connection to a box
I don’t want to throw it away because they still work, I just need to figure out how to get them powered again.
Any thoughts? Is there a way I can manage to reconnect them here or do I need to swap out some pieces?
Ah bummer. I’m sure you can still salvage them somehow.
You’ll probably need to cut off that hard plastic, strip the wires back, and solder them back together.
Is that the end of the cable? Is there a connector or batteries or something? Best path forward might just be to get a new connector and toss that one.
The injection molded part is going to make it painful to repair. I would probably cut the injection mold with a pair of flush cutters. It will be tight spacing to solder on new connection. I would glue up the repair. Glue Website
