Default Differential wires

Still working on my 2002 Magnum 500, Rebuilt the front differential (centralized hilliard) and got it re-installed. One of the wires has broken off at the plastic insert where it goes into the differential. Is there any method of repairing/replacing this? If so, can it be done in the frame or does it have to be removed. There is NO wire extending beyond the plastic insert. Maybe a 1/16".

Have to split it. Pain in the rear,but if you don't have enough to splice into,you have to splice close the coil itself and extend the wire out the diff.

It may have to come out if you can't fish the new wire through. Once out it has a little more give on the small holes.You may be able to lube the new wire and push it through.
