Default Heated Grip Problem

My right side heated grip stopped working after 5 years of no problems. I popped the end cap and found that one of the electrical pins (that plug into the end of the white throttle side) had broken off. It actually looked like it had overheated or burned up somehow. The other pin seems fine.

Does anyone know if there's a way to replace the electrical pins or do I have to buy a new set of grips?

Thanks

The wires are thin but repairable if you have the patients and capabilities.
If not and you HAVE to have them, replace them. It's easier and not as difficult as a repair.

I found a new one on ebay for $92 - still better than buying a new set
