i broke a pin
on the gps plug can i join the wires instead without doing any harm can anyone help please i am trying to fit tre what i mean is can i cut the wires running to the gps plug and solder to the tre wires

gps=gear position sensor.

I would just buy a used one on Ebay

I dont have a TRE but seems to me if the TRE is plugged inline to the GPS leads, that changes the length of the circuit/distance the signal travels. If you cut and solder that would change also change the distance. Does it really matter? The PCV and every other piggyback device we've been using for years changes the distance the signals travel too. Doesn't seem to hurt. You could get some crimp on connectors instead of soldering. If you solder, I believe you must use a certain kind of solder wire for electrical work.

I'd just buy a used one.

Wire out of connector dangling in the air = tre.
I broke the pin off the connector side and now makes no connection between wires = tre.
See both cause the same effect as in the one variable about a wire not connected? It can't be a connector not connected, nor is it short internally or rubbing any harness to ground. Those 4 variables right there send in no data. It's self diagnosing if the many inputs or analog signals are gone. No wire means a single or no input is being sent in to tell what gear the bike is in. Without that input, it goes to a safer map to save the engine from damage.

Watt would hub do?
1. I'd get me a tiny finishing nail and if it lost the male end, I'd snip the nail so the length would jam into the broken side, the nail would have no place to go just making contact.. homehe dunt need no new/used switch is.
2. I'd jam some tin foil in the lost pin side and make it hit the salvaged pin as it fills what I can jam in there. I'd then roll up a tiny slice of tin foil; if no nail was that small around the place. Then I'd bend it, hammer into a flat bar so it fits into the female end, then snip off so there is hard contact made.
3. I'd take a straight razor, sharp knife, and slice away some bare wire at both color sides of course. I'd have a strand of remote wire long enough to meet at both ends of those colored wires, plus some. At both ends of that remote wire, the strands would be long enough to wrap it around the exposed wires, then wrap around itself again, no solder, but goop glue all over the T's wire ends. No need for shrink trying to close that T anyway.

4. That' a fixes off the top of the head, meguyveer style, or back to stock. Oh, you want that tree still.
5. That means I forgo the packing or rebuilding a pin so as to leave the harnesses alone. So with that remote wire, if I ran a toggle switch between the remote wires, I could toggle the tre on or off.
6. That's how simple thishitizz.

Howe doing salvaging the part now?
