My air-conditioner has been showing 69° for a a while so I figure I needed to replace the sensor. When I got everything out I noticed a green wire going into the harness plug had come out. What do I need to do? I tried pushing it back and but it just slides right back out. I have zero experience soldering anything and I have a limited amount of wire up there to work with so there is not much slack.

8vette7...you were close. Daddyrama also texted me the same advice. Oreilly's had an oem harness but Autozone and Advance didnt even carry it. The generic plugs were all a little too big to fit. It was $32 bucks. Good news is the sensor I thought was bad is probably still good so I'll get back about $15 from that.
