This winter decided to play with my wiring. Drove through some snow and it pulled on the catalytic converter's oxygen sensor wiring. This caused the car-side of the harness to break and now the heater check wire is no longer completing the signal due to the harness being cracked open and wires are loose.

I am wondering if anyone knows how to replace this piece so I can have my oxygen sensor working properly again. Thanks.

Well that's what I was wondering about. Would cutting the wires and soldering on a new harness end-piece be sufficient? I don't want that affect the signals correctly making it to the ECU.

As long as you do a decent job there will be no added resistance to the circuit. Flux it and heat it up properly to get a decent joint. Use a small pair of vice grips to heat sink the wire so you don't brun up the insulation too bad. Heat shrink or liquid electrical tape and it's good as new.
