Motor surging

I put about 75mm cut in the harness and this how is the wires came out, the wire on the top broke away and the wires on the bottom corroded.now get them joined up.

Make sure you cut the wires back past any corrosion, it typically travels up the insulation a few inches. You may need to splice in a new short section of wire

Good stuff you found it dude

Would recommend digging out the other one, and soldering it up too, because if one is rotted, the other is liable to be rotted, and is only a matter of time before it leaves you stranded.
 
This is a most challenging electric gremlin. I had a nearly identical problem 26 years ago with a Ford F-150 pickup and the problem almost changed history. I had convinced myself that the conditions had been met to ask for my significant other's hand in marriage, and made happy plans for a romantic trip the week between Christmas and New Years, driving up from Boston to the Notchland Inn in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Loaded our stuff in the truck and headed up I-93 toward Bretton Woods (of 1944 new economic order fame). About thirty miles out from the inn - about 2000 in the evening - the engine started stumbling. Flooring the gas pedal, I could make about 30 mph. We settled in for the evening, and I decided this was a potential negative omen, in face of which, I would not pop the question. This engine stuttering problem had been occurring occasionally for a year, and I had wasted money several times trying to get it diagnosed. At the B&B the next morning, the owner was serving a scrumptious breakfast, and I explained my dilemma. Without hesitation, he asked to come back and see him in an hour. When I came back, he handed me the keys to his car, and the address of the local Ford dealer, saying he had called and they were expecting us and their best mechanic was on duty. He further said we had use of the car for my secret mission. We dropped off the truck, and I drove my wife to a trailhead for Mt Willard, and on top, she said, "Yes". Returning to the inn, the owner said the dealership had called, and the truck was ready. The guy actually took a photo (no cell back then - Polaroid) and where there was a crimped wire deep in the main harness across the firewall right in the middle, for the ignition. As I recall, he charged us about $50, and the truck ran like a champ to the day I sold it. That crimp had exactly the same corrosion shown above. I sort of tell this story because I'm surprised with the knowledge in the industry of the weakness of this method of connecting wires (as I recall, the truck was a 1979 model), we would still be seeing this problem on a 2003 design.
