Hey there. so, I’ve mistakenly pulled a little too hard on the dimmer switch plug to which the green wire had broke in half resulting in all light instruments (speedometer tachometer AC/control) to shut off.

I was wondering if there is a solution to fixing this?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Yes, that can be repaired. I would remove the splice and repair the wire first. You can use a red or blue butt connector to repair the green wire. After completing the repair just move the splice a little farther down the wire. Hope this helps and let us know if you have any further questions on this issue. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
