You know, they sell those that don't require assembly.

I just stopped by these forums after a long break - it looks like the OP was trying to repair something.

Just for future reference if others show up, my personal recommendation when trying to repair somethiing like this:

Cut the wires

Put Anderson Powerpoles on the cut wires

Buy a preassembled cig lighter plug to Powerpole adapter, or buy a lighter plug with cables preattached and terminate Powerpoles onto it.

I have an air pump and a portable cooler that now both have Powerpoles, and can either be powered by a CL plug, or a big 200+W 12v supply.

Anderson Powerpoles have become the de facto standard for amateur radio emergency service 12v power wiring.
