I pulled off my steering column cover to replace my ignition cylinder and noticed one of the soldered wire had broken loose. Can I solder it back on without buring the plug or am I looking at a replacement?

If you prep it right, should be no problem.
A small tip on your soldering iron will be helpful also.

That large 10ga wire will sink a lot of heat, so be sure to use a large wattage solder gun. 100 watts or so would do it nicely.

Here is the final result, it wasn't easy, feels like it will hold. Not the prettiest thing that is for sure. I ended up unscrewing it and pulling it out so I had a flat surface to work on instead of the solder finding gravity and dripping off. Kind of a silly connection, why didn't they just have a post connection here.
