Dont want a dodgey wire job. Now. Watch me use this Walmart red butt Connector and crimper that came with them for free. Watch and learn. Oh and trust me the last thing you need to repair a wire harness is wire. Why would you need any of that silly stuff

Also some new connectors weren't two different colors they were the same so I was guessing.

Not impressed to be fair using connectors? rather than soldering and heat shrinking, if your going to do it do it properly I say.

Shaggydude says:

Where did you get the replacement molex fitting? And I noticed that you didn't do a continuity test on the harness while you had it apart. But connectors are the worst way to repair wire. MHO.
