Thermistor wire damage issue

Hey Mike I took out the soldering Iron . I just tinned both ends and connected it , Had to use electrical tape to cover the exposed wire , I didn't remove the molex just repaired it. I tested the bed and it seems its heating up.
<>My order date was Placed on April 03, 2014 01:35PM
<> Received my order around 5-20-14 , Don't have exact date, but on 5-01-14 I paid an extra $100 for the new upgrade's . SD card/auto level bed.

2 question's will I receive the new connector? , and by re-attaching / soldiering that wire will it burn up again causing more damage. Basically its what Im asking, Don't wanna ruin anything more by fixing it myself.

 

They're not putting in a new connector but rather cutting it out and hardwiring it together.

The safest solution is to cut out the connector and hard wire it together. This will not void your warranty to do

 

Ok cool . I'm going to hard wire that connection ..

I do have 1 more question . Originally the wire that burnt on me was the smaller gauge wire connected to the board via the 2 pin connector T1 terminal . That wire was a smaller gauge I say about 20 gauge. It was soldered to the grey wire which is about 16 gauge . Was the 20 gauge wire acting as a fuseable link ? And meant to burn out if so should I returned to the same gauge . I used the same gauge wire as my replacement

 

The thermistor line doesn't have a high amp draw so any size wire gauge is fine.
