Accident
Hey guys,
Some idiot decided to hit me going about 30 whilst I was waiting at a light... It hit pretty hard and now the thing wont start. The tank is badly dented but not leaking. I noticed the fuel gauge stopped working after he hit.
I have been under the car and there is a connector that is crushed. I have tried to plug it back in but a few of the pins are broken off. The fuel gauge is working now - but still no gas getting to the engine. I am hoping its just this connector that is broken... Does anyone know if this is the power to the fuel pump aswell as the fuel gauge? If so can I just cut the connector off for now and join the wires??
The only problem I see is that there are 4 wires going in to each connector - but the colors dont match... how do I know which ones to join?
I just want to get it running so I can move it. Its a 2002 Cherokee 4.0
Thanks in advance

No gas smelt... I reckon its the connector but not sure what to do with it - not a standard one...
