I have a secondhand ComNav 1001 autopilot, and I believe I need to switch the sine and cosine wires at the plug to correct a 180-deg error in the heading (autopilot is 180 deg off of the compass). One of the wires was already loose but the other is firmly attached and doesn't seem to want to come out from moderate pulling. The wires and plug are so small I'm not sure how they're secured or how to reattach them.
Maybe they were soldered into the plug by the manufacturer, but I don't think I could solder something that small. Same with crimping... wires are small and close together and the plug doesn't come apart in any way obvious to me. Seems like a tiny ferrule that slides in tightly would be ideal but I don't have any and time is a factor.
Any advice would be appreciated.
