That’s the one.

I’ll double-check that. Seems like it’s in the cable itself, but I could very well be mistaken.

Also, the black cap that holds the cable to that pinching assembly (whatever it’s properly called) has lost its snaps on the sides, so it’s useless as far as holding the cable tension to the connector. I’m sure that isn’t helping things.

What are those connectors called? While I’m at it I might as well replace the cap, if they still exist.
