2016 charger hellcat. I recently threw on 315/50/17's. I did the required plastic cutting and hammering for them not to rub. I did a couple test drive an no rubbing. But on my drive to work, I got the "service active dampening". I've read that the wire probably got rubbed by the tires. I'll have to check when I get home. But my main question is, can I splice them back together and move them out of the way or do I have to soder them? I can't find the specific cable for under like $210. If I can repair it, I'd prefer that. Thanks in advance

For any wire repairs I do soldering is definitely preferred. Solder with heat shrink tubing.

I had this happen to me. Didn’t check the clearance of the electrical wire on one side when I put wide Mickey’s on and tire rubbed through the wire. I put it up on stands, spliced, soldered, then wrapped with quality electrical tape. That was 4 years ago and many miles - no issues since. Fixed the active dampening immediately.

If it yanked it hard enough and it possibly came out on the shock absorber side. Is it a pain to replace?

One trick to protect a splice in a bad location is to solder and tape, then put a rubber or plastic tube over the splice. Squirt silicone calking in both ends to seal.

I don’t know, luckily I was able to fix mine without having to replace the wire.

Happened to me years ago with 315s.
The thick rubber casing will need to be cut open to expose the small wires.
Just use a heat shrinking butt connector, wrap with tape nicely, and put loom over it. Zip tie everything securely and it will not happen again.
