Broken wire connection

2018 ultra, purchased a few months ago just noticed the male end of this cable is broken and won't latch to the female. Anyone know what this cable is for, it runs between the back of seat and tourpack

Thought that's what it might be,radio works fine sitting in the garage so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the responses, I'll need to replace it before I head to Sturgis.

Save yourself some time, and money. Get a zip tie. Fasten the connector together, and zip tie it in a figure eight pattern. It won't come apart till you cut it off.
