Good news and bad news:
The good: I FOUND THE BREAK (when I touch the wire to reconnect it, it all works well again)
The bad: I'm not sure how to fix where it broke off, I was planning on using a heat shrink butt connector but I don't think I can.
Here's a picture of the bastard:
And another:
I was thinking of stripping like an inch of rubber off the broken cord and wrapping the copper around the other connectors and then wrapping that in electrical tape.
If anyone has any ideas on how to reattach it I would really appreciate it.
