Possible to repair rear shock EDC cable?

Looks like the cable that controls EDC on one of my rear shocks has broken where it connects. It appears from looking at realoem and seeing where it broke that it is a hard wired connection. But figured I would check in here before shelling out for a replacement shock.

Pictures would be really helpful. Not sure if you mean broken where the cable connects to the shock itself or broken at the car side connector.

If its torn out of the module on the shock you are probably in trouble.

If its the connector at the end of the cable someone should be able to patch it I would think

It is damaged on the shock/module end unfortunately. It looks like it's just a thin single strand of copper wire that runs through, without a good way to fix the connection. I can get the connector itself to sit in place on a plastic prong. But seems like I'm in the market for a replacement shock.

does that "sensor/circle piece" come off? If so I have some in good condition if you need.
