That's why I don't use crimps.I have spent more time chasing down someones crimp gone bad than probly any other electrical problem.
My way takes a couple minutes longer but is permanent

They're a love/hate thing, aren't they?

I love using them because they're a quick repair, and my repairs never come back. But, I have had to go and repair other people's crimps, and I hate that. Mind you, it makes them easier to spot.

No its like a Centimeter of wire left on the plug. So the rest of the wire has nothing to attach to.

I think I'm gonna need to see a pic, but you might be able to crimp a new pin onto the wire and insert it into the plug. Or, solder might be the better option. Either way, you're in a bind. Sucks that it has to happen on a brand new truck.

I had it clipped on my belt in a hip holster, but the phone and the holster fell off my belt.
