Remove the sheath from the new plug, and slip it over the wires of the old plug.
Step 4
Connect the two wires to the color-coded connectors on the new plug.
Step 5
Apply a drop of solder with a soldering iron to secure the new connections.
Step 6
Slide the sheath over the wire connection to the new plug, and snap into place.
Step 7
Replace a plug with wires already attached by stripping 1/2 inch of insulation off the wires of the new plug.
Step 8
Connect the wires of the new plug to the wires where the old plug was removed, and twist each corresponding wire together 3 to 4 times around its mate on the old wire set.
Step 9
Apply a drop of solder over each wire splice.
Step 10
Wrap the spliced wires tightly with black, elasticized electrician's tape.
