I can finally post something relevant in this thread!!!!
The controller on our Webasco diesel heater broke a while ago. The service guy from the CT dealer cut the old controller off to return it to Webasco and they replaced it under warranty. I noticed after he had cut the controller off that the connector actually plugs in, so unplugged the remaining bit so that I could source a new one.
Turns out that the part is Webasco specific and it was easier for me to connect the cables back together rather than try to get a new connector.
Step 1. Read Simon’s electrical 101 thread
http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=2236.0 and figure out how to join the two ends together and how to best solder them.
Step 2. Re-read simons thread to make sure that I am about to do the right thing.
Step 3. Cut back the insulation from the plug end, this is the shortest end so will determine the length of the join.
Step 4. Cut back the insulation from the cable end and join the cables together. Not much to work with and doesn’t look anywhere as neat as Simon’s, but good enough for a novice.
Step 5. Try to solder the joints, first soldering iron no good, second will only just do (mental note to get a proper soldering iron). Test heater, all good.
Step 6. Heat shrink all cables to ensure no shorting, also I understand this will also help with joint strength.
Step 7. Heat shrink all cables back together and test.
So this is the first real thing I have done to the CT and it all worked out OK in the end.
Took pics along the way, only one of them turned out OK.
