Pins in the replacement connector. Pressing the bottom of the pin (in the lower cut out) allows it to slide out of the connector.

Photo taken during the pin-swap process. This was tedious, but not technically difficult.

Replacement connector installed. Note the two blue wires. One is the original data line. The other is the replacement which I will route to the alternator.

Routing replacement data line. Note that it is in a heat resistant casing and the use of wire ties to keep it out of harms way.

Damaged connector showing original data line. I had hoped to replace just this pin, but as you can see it is melted into the conncector.

This photo exaggerates the difference. It captures the color of the shift knob fairly accurately, but it makes the rest of the dash illumination appear too yellow.
