Alright guys im going to post a picture of my issue. I was replacing my fan when I noticed the bottom sensor on my thermo housing is broken. I looked to find the wire and of course I find two and one of them has a very strange connector at the end and I can't figure out what is what. I think the single wire goes to the bottom sensor, but have no idea where the other wire with the connector at the end goes. Also, is it possible to replace the wire inside the blue connector once I pull it out, since the wire inside is too short to solder. Let me know, thanks Bob

The blue one goes to the sensor, but I don't know why it has a tri-connector on it? The other one what color is it exactly I do see it's two if you give me the color I can tell you what it goes to, the blue one goes to the blue sensor there, I think someone tried to splice into into it for a switch of some sort but yeah need anything else let me know.

Okay that is good, I have no clue where the other light green/red stripe goes, let me know what you find. Also, I don't know how I am going to solder the blue wire back on since the wire in the blue connector is fubar and really short, they must pop out though im assuming so they can be repaired, right? I don't know whether to push through the front or pull from the back and where to get replacement connectors that go inside of it. Let me know.

Here is the connector, no more room for soldering, do I need to go to the dealer to get another connector or can I fix it? Anyone know?

Yeah, like jetjock said, you can push the pins out through the back of the connectors, I found the light green/red stripe wire, which is suppose to go right behind/below the thermo housing. I just popped the pins out and used some speaker wire to fix them. I will later try to get these connectors from the dealer, but at least I got them fixed for now.
