Can anyone tell me what this sensor is for? (Sits in front of the engine between oil filter and exhaust)
Is it possible to solder the wire back on? I'd hate to replace the complete harness.
As above, but the break location obviously makes repair a bit more complicated. Very careful work with a knife will be required to expose some good copper. Then solder....crimp will be very difficult. Depin connector and use a couple layers of some 3:1 or 4:1 heat shrink to seal and act as strain relief.
Looks like a sensor/switch wire CONNECTOR but without knowing year and exact model it makes it a little difficult to isolate part.
If it is an oil pressure switch CONNECTOR then it might be a $10 USA dollar part or less and not worth initiating a repair.
Some sensors have a threaded bolt and your wire end can have a ring crimped and then be bolted on while others have a connector and would require splicing a simple one wire connector to your wire shown.
A good auto part like a NAPA should have part in stock.
A lawn mower/generator shop should have a similar boot.
Perhaps disconnect rubber "L" boot from sensor and take a picture of actual sensor head.
Then go to auto part with picture and rubber boot.
A simple splice and marine grade heat shrink wrap should get that repair done.
From a distance it looks like wire was exposed to vibration with no support, high heat and possible rubbing.
There are some pig tails sold to connect to threaded sensors online too.
A parts link like this one might allow you to identify part names in the future. http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.....asp?make=hdmc
Pull that 90 deg connector off the switch. Put one of these on the wire. Slide it on the threaded stud sticking out from the switch. Tighten the appropriate nut on to hold it in place. Paint it all flat black if you wish.

Here is another pic
The eye connector is a great workaround if that "L" is just a push connector. I have seen many of those in the past but wasn't sure if our sensors used that style.
Would still recommend heat shrink over the entire crimp + dielectric grease on the mechanical connection.
