Ignition Coil wiring chewed by rodent

Hi there, I have a 1996 Maxima and one of the ingition coil clip wiring was chewed probably by a rat.

Question, can I get the clips pigtail and splice the wiring to the rest of the harness, or do I need to purchase the whole igintion harness (Its the coil in the middle at the back by the firewall).

Thanks for your help!

No reason you couldn't replace the damaged wiring.

I personally would visit a wrecking yard to get what I need.

I would solder the wires, then coat the splice with brush-on electrical rubber. Your local auto parts store would have that.

That's an injector connector. He needs this one:

OP, I have a complete spare engine wiring harness. I can ship you a couple connectors for the cost of shipping. PayPal me and I'll get them out tomorrow. Might be easier/cheaper just to hit up ebay though. I would. I buy things I don't even need from ebay. I always have at least a couple pending orders from ebay. I love ebay. Ebay!

For the first time last month, I had a rat get into my engines. It chewed the injector wiring harness on our 04 Honda Civic. We put out a trap and caught one so far.
