Ensure you have enough wire pulled thru to resolder, use a cable zip tie to stop the cable pulling again. Let it dry reassemble.
The liquid electrical tape and zip tie will stop it moving again. An alternative is do the above but use glue lined heat shrink....Its damn good. |
Thanks for that suggestion. Have been adverse to having a go at sealed electrical things and usually just throw them away.
My issue was that the conductor wires had not broken and I was just trying to add a layer of protection to prevent that.
I suppose if the wires had broken then no harm in opening the case to see if your suggestion could be implemented.
One remaining area of concern would be to ensure proper resealing of the case against moisture in dewy conditions.
