Brake fluid reservoir sensor wire

Something seems to have chewed through this wire for my brake fluid reservoir sensor. But I can't find where this wire used to connect. Tried looking in WIS but no luck. Can anyone help with a photo or explanation? I'm guessing the other end of the wire fell down a crevice because none of the wiring harness within reach has any open ends.

@det000 had a chance to work on my car today and took this pic. Hopefully it helps a little. That sensor wire (red arrow) is bundled up into a larger harness (green arrow). Maybe you can peel back some of the cloth tape of the large harness and salvage what's left.

Thank you @LAsunset !!

This is exactly what I needed. The other end was tucked well under the larger wire. Only had about 1 inch to work with but was able to make the repair. You saved me an expensive trip to the shop!

Soldering. Definitely a tight space and little wire to work with. But sadly not my first rodeo making this kind of repair 😅
