I'll probably go buy the connectors and and extra wire (if I don't have any) tomorrow after work so I can get it taken care of Saturday morning.

I just went to look in the garage and I have solid copper wire that looks to be of the appropriate gauge. Is solid copper better than stranded wire or does it matter?

Actually, wire I have may be just a tad thin. What gauge should I use? I'm sure I can figure it out once I have the different size wires in front of me. Roll Eyes

I bought the wire and connectors tonight so I decided to get to it instead of waiting for the weekend. Now that I had the wire and connectors I was not scared to really pry on the faulty connector and I managed to get both the female and male connections out of the connector. I was then able to crimp the female connector so that it make a really good connection with the male connector. I jiggled and pulled on it and no effect on the light so it is done. Thanks all.

I actually thought that the solid core wire was better. But now that this issue has been explained I do understand. I sure am glad I asked cause now I know better.
