Good Morning,
So, I took apart my center dash to install my new Aux Panel and broke the Red Camera Connection. The wire is short and it pulled right out of the connector, ugh....
I've tried placing the wire back in the connector and electrical taping it tight BUT my camera remains BLUE.

Can someone help me with a fix?????

Thanks very much!!

The coax shielding is completely sheared and ripped from the crimp ferrule. Unless you have coax stripping and crimping tools, and able to source the fakra connector ferrule and pins, don’t even bother repairing that.
Instead, get a 6’ replacement cable that goes from the radio to the next connection down the line, which is on the side of the passenger glove box.
This is the cable you need:

Plug one end into the red port on the radio.
Run the other end to the passenger side kick panel area under the dash. Find the black fakra connection, unplug it, and plug the new one in.
This is the area you’ll find that black fakra connection:
