Hello all, I was under my 1703T this evening checking out the lift mechanism when I spotted a wiring issue on the black tank. It looks like the wires attached to the sensors that monitor the tank level. One of the wires was broken, it appears that it broke off right where it joins with this weird plastic junction thing that I've never seen before, where four different wires all join into one thumbnail size plastic connector. Does anybody know what this connector is? And more importantly, what do you think the impact of this broken wire is? See pics.

I just went through all this wiring on my 2703. Those four wires are: three go to the sensors and one is the power. There are four sensors on mine, the white (lowest) is the ground, yellow, green and orange, (I think), go to the sensors and the red is power. I'm pretty sure you can snip those wire and strip them back, twist them together and if possible, paste flux and solder them. Cover this joint with a wire nut or tape the joint well. Back in business! For safety, I'd do this with power OFF.
