An inexpensive option that I have used is the metal butt splice - shrink wrap - and inject a dab of the proper heat range/environment condition RTV. Heat shrink and wipe off the excess.

Its worth mentioning, that if you feel the need to use RTV on any part of your car, you really want to use a non-corrosive product. Aircraft guys do that as standard operating procedure, but not all home builders are aware of the acetic acid in the typical home depot products.

Never thought a Splice thread could be so exciting.
