Slide the yellow cap off one end connector and pull the wires out. Cut them off 1/2" shorter. Do NOT strip the insulation, and force the wires back down over the pins. I use needlenose pliers pressing in front of and behind the pin simultaneously. Make sure the wire is all the way in against the back of the connector when you do this. Replace the cap, and fix the other connector for good measure. Of course it goes without saying that you must replace the correct wires in the correct pins! Many of us had horrible problems awhile back when a batch of cables were made incorrectly. Cable maker was suitably chastised with a high voltage patchcord up the ying yang. Dave
