A cable in one of my Temp probe connectors came off. I dont know how because I havent touch anything in my controller for a long time, maybe it was someone else in the house. How difficult is to repair it? to get the cable back in?

Thanks'

Can you post a pic? Is the crimp-on pin still on the end of the wire or do you just have bare copper on the end?

I'll try to take a pic. It is the bare wire, the pin stayed in the plastic housing

It's easy to repair if you already have the crimp tool and spare pins. If you don't have the tool it'd be cheaper to order a new probe. I think the cheapest crimp tool I've found was around $15 and a new probe will run you $5-$10.

You could also try to pulling the pin out of the housing (use a straightened out paper clip or toothpick to help get it out) and solder the wire on.

Thanks Piper, Roberto suggested the same. I will try to get it out and solder it.
