Electrical connectors at steering column 70 dart with ignition in column

To be clear, I didn't splice new ends on the blue wire, just flared the bullet and squeezed the female side. Could be that if I had done it to both I wouldn't have had to cut the red wire.

Just re-read my post and realized it could have been read as "I cut the ends off the blue wire" when what I meant by "did the same steps" was the steps prior to cutting the wire ends.
