This is perfect! One of my cats occasionally chews up an expensive cord when she gets in a mood. This trick will save me a lot of money. I can't thank you enough!
My cat chewed up my landline charging cable which connects to my apt building buzzer. An important delivery will arrive in the morning and I must be able to buzz the driver in. Here I am, searching "How to Repair Broken Weirs/Cables" 5 am in the morning.😅
Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do it. I am a newbie in this fixing wires thing because of my puppies. Your tutorial got me through the newbie jitters and fear of ruining the cord forever.
Great question, Denis. Typically, the copper is the actual wire and the plastic/rubber shielding is just that - a shield. The shield needs to be peeled back to expose the copper, then the copper needs to be spliced to copper. If you have two wires like this in your cord, you can wrap each one individually with electrical tape and then tape the whole thing back up.
Just wanted to say, an 11 year old video saved me. My rabbits chewed the cable that goes from my pedals to my steering wheel on my game racing steering wheel. It was a little scary to open the wire and discover there were six individual wires inside, but I followed these instructions and it totally works again. I couldn't find a replacement cable, so I figured I was looking at about $170 to replace the whole pedal assembly if this didn't work.
I usually don't comment on videos, but you just saved me at least $30-$100, the cost of replacing my laptop charger that I fixed in 30 minutes thanks to you.
Likewise, can't thank you enough! My tv cable was severed and it seemed more difficult to fix having 3 separate wires rather than the 2 and not owning those fancy wire trimming cutters. The joys of the internet and instructional videos.
If it's just wearing out and not actually broken, wrap it in electrical tape. You can also purchase wiring sleeves that you can place over the worn area and then apply heat (hair dryer) to shrink the sleeve onto the existing wire.
You prevented my wife from beating me... I ran over the lawn mower extension.. I went on a mad rush around town for a screw down terminal strip and failed miserably.. Your technique worked amazingly!! You save me and earned me man points!! You da man!!! :D
Thank you! I’m so glad I searched and found your video on repairing wires. I’ll be fixing my vacuum cleaner wire tomorrow when the wire stripper tool arrives. Thanks again, 11 years post video upload!
Thanks for the video! Did this on my laptop charger which was cut in half and now it works perfectly fine. 5 minutes of work saved me some time and money. Thank you! This video deserves a subscriber.
Thank you!!! I cut my christmas garland wire like a DUMMY right when I finished putting everything on. This tutorial helped me, I easily followed that through, and THEY WORK! One Christmas crisis averted.
Works like a charm. My yorkie chewed through my electric blanket cord (he is fine but in trouble)... This easily solved the problem. Thank you for your easily followed video instructions! Much appreciated. Saved me from repurchasing another $200 blanket :)
Hey thanks! Sliced through my Black & Decker trimmer adapter cord and used your video to repair it. Bought a wire stripper like yours at Canadian Tire for $4.99 and used that. Worked perfectly and took 5 minutes! Appreciate your video!!!! :)
Cat chewed through my cordless drill charger and getting a replacement would've cost the same as getting another drill. Bought a much better corded drill, then spent a whole afternoon looking for a video on how to splice broken wires. Watched at least 5 videos before finding this one, and this is the one that finally worked. Now I have a cordless drill again!! Thank you!!!!
I can't believe, but this actually works! I feel like a genius :D Thank you very very very much for this! I have bought so many new cables for all sort of things, because my rabbit keeps chewing them. Now finally I fixed one yeeeeey! :)
Hey Omar, yes - that makes it tough. You might want to consider cutting the cord on a newer, working USB cable and splicing that in. That way you don't have to touch the jack - just the cord. Good luck!
It should work, yes, but keep in mind that the wires won't be as cleanly separated and may be separated by small nylon looking threads. I haven't tried it on that cable but it'd be worth a try!
I'm too afraid to plug in my device in case I did something wrong and electrocute myself or it doesn't work! Ok, here goes nothing... IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I'M SO HAPPY THANK YOU!!! :) You can't tell how happy I am but I am oVeR ThE MoOn!!!!! :)
No wonder this country is in trouble... all these people needed this guy to show them how to reconnect a wire?? it's an everyday use of common sense to do these kind of things... wow!! good job dough bro we need more people like you in our planet.
Nate Muir I was looking for a video on how to connect a ELAU Pac-drive to diagnose a SSP2 and this popped up on the results! but of course I don't expect for you to even know what I'm talking about. But I'm glad dumb asses like yourself are watching videos like this. you can learn something here.
Nate Muir lol! manners... I was just amazed on how people actually can't connect two fucking wires together. if a man can't connect two wires together, well guess what? your not a man. you sound like a Hillary supporter... lol#
I should’ve watched this first. Tried to fix a box fan that’s about as old as I am, and I tripped the breakers twice, singed my fingers, melted the cables, burned the plug, and started a fire. If I haven’t completely ruined it, I will try your method in the morning. Thank you LRN2DIY.
instead of having to mess about bending wires back on themselves and double wrap etc why not just stagger the positive and negative connections so theyre an inch or so apart (at slightly different points along the cable). that way there is no physical possibility of them coming into contact and therefore less reliance on dreaded electrical tape as an insulator.
The tip about matching the wires was mighty helpful...sometimes the distinction between the positive wire and negative isn't clear enough...but if you look closely you'll see it...
Thank you thank you thank you. I was mowing the lawn when I snipped the wired, thanks to this video I was able to fix it. Thank you internet and you youtube!
I just appreciate the help, I did need it to save money. And, the knowledge is in my head now should anything else need it. Or come back to this guys channel. Be Well
Am i the only one who came here because my rat bit through my phone charger? Thanks for this video, the instructions were really clear! c: i was able to fix it. Thanks Nils! :D♡
I fixed the left speaker attached to the subwoofer. There was a smaller rubber with wires within a bigger one but I managed to fix it anyway. These are good quality speakers and I dont have to throw them out anymore 😀
Thanks for this video. I was able to repair my box fan cord that had frayed. Instead of spending $18 - $25 on new one (they aren't $12 anymore), I spent $1 on a roll of electrical tape.
My cat chewed of the cable to the string lights, sadly the cable is two separate wires as in this video, but they have no different colors or markings...Any way to fix them? They are LED-lights.
Thank you. A squirrel chewed through the cable for my solar powered light in the summerhouse. Watched this video and 10 minutes later I had a fully functioning light again.
I recently was curious to know what happens if you don’t know which wires to reconnect if they are the same color and are doubled-joined (the positive to positive and negative to negative). What happens if you reverse connect the wires and when plugged? Does AC voltage have any polarity?
Great vid, but what about the other type of adapter wires, where is one cable and when you cut it open, there's copper inside, then another shielded wire with copper inside it? How do you go about repairing those? Is the otter copper wire just a shield?
I think i may have a freyed house wire somewhere inside the wall. I think its one of the wires going from the outlets in one of the bedrooms to the breaker box. Is there a way to have this fixed without tearing apart the drywall? I would really rather not have to deal with that if there is another way. There is a loud tick sound that occures from within the wall every time the compressor on my mini fridge kickes in. At first I was under the impression it was the mini fridge causing problems but now I'm thinking its a house wring problem reacting to the amp draw from the mini fridge when it turns on & off.
Thank You. After your well done video I am going to try and fix my computer speaker wires, which my dog chewed. sigh. I have to re watch the part where you bend the wire end to go horizontal on to itself. I'm just overly anxious with electricity, so sorry. lol Ques: can electric tape protect even larger wires with More electricity going thru them?? Just curious. Thanks !!
Yeah, it's the same concept. If the dog chewed through both sides of the headphones (left ear and right ear), you'll need to splice together each wire, which will have two wires in each. Headphones are tough because the wires are tiny but it works the same way. Good luck, Eder!
i am going to use spray on bed liner to coat a few partly stripped(mouse chewed) wiring harness wires in a snow plow. it still works fine, just noticed the nibbles and don't want to spend time rebuilding a harness for what seems to be a none problem.
Plow Still works fine after using spray on bumper /trim coating, that is supposed to be used to put a fresh layer of rubber on your trim, to cover up the exposed copper... I would have used nearly identical bed liner but was out, so now no wires are showing, and without chance for corrosion to get in and start when moisture or salt works in the wires (it will then work away from the exposed wires and long term often cause failure where you can't even see it, kind of like needing to replace /cutting off the ends of the positive and negative cables that runs to the starter since the starter is often underneath and exposed to salt.
Nils Rasmusson rather then slicing up the wire to strip it, the other really awesome method is to just cut into the wire and circle around it with a blade, usually the knife doesnt go all the way through to the metal and you can tell how much harder you have to push it or pull sideways to slice it a bit. a tiny bit of practice and you never cut the wire or damage it at all. the slicing up the wire method you showed is a really bad method since you are almost guaranteed to cut into the wire or cut away parts of the wire if its made of a bunch of tiny wires, which is bad.
My wireless earbuds are cutting of on the right side, I have an idea of where the wire is. I think I may use this, I just don't know if there's electrical tape in my house.
Will this work on the chords in side an electric blanket? My dog chewed a whole in mine that I got as a present last year, and I'm so upset. She's fine thankfully, but I'd love to try and fix this instead of having to but a new one. I have one completely broken chord like yours in the tutorial, and further down that same chords is a joint break (where the chord is still together, but the casing and and part of the wire is frayed to where it bends like an elbow)
Just what I needed. I'm creating a light fixture using hats and was unsure how to best cut the wires so I can insert them through the hat and then safely reconnect.
thank you so much for the video :) now i can finally fix the cord of our washing machine that got chewed by our dog without the help of an electrician :)
What will happen if you try to plug a cord with broken blades (for lack of a better word, pointy things that physically go into the wall) into a power socket? Will the appliance still work? Will the wall blow up? Sorry I have no idea what I'm doing.
It depends on what you mean by broken, but I'd be careful. You could end up frying the device you're plugging in or you could get hurt. It sounds like it'll need to be replaced at some point.
Morning Nils, Kristina from Australia here. I have question, i have just recently brought out a Hi -fi system after 8yrs in storage,and i have a problem with one of the speakers. The once exposed wires look as if it has been soldered and formed into a little ball making it impossible to put into the outlet. I have a fair idea how to fix, but can you give me your advice on the matter?
Can you fix a earpiece as its mid cable broke I did not cut it into half or something can you tell me whether I can fix it using your method? Thanks pls reply asap :)

How do I resolve this thank you so much and a Happy Mother's day to you and yours
I notice that some people solder the wires, what is the pros and cons of soldering? Thanks
soldering just binds them together for a stronger connection, whereas twisting them may lead to them disconnecting.
Soldering is just a more secure and permanent way of connecting the wires
