RCA plug has a short - can it be repaired?

[mrpep]

so I bust my *** for 2 days and finally get it installed then I learn that one of the RCA plugs has a short. When you move the wire sounds cut in and out. I don't want to rip everything back out so am considering repairing. Can it be repaired ? Can the Plug be replaced?

is this the jack on the amp? and what amp, if it is the rca your better off replacing it

It's the jack that plugs into the amp. It's the actual male RCA jack not the amp input. I know that replacing is ideal but I'm looking for a second option. This is a conversion van, I had to take the walls apart, don't want to do this again.

did you try squeezing the outer fins inward slightly, i mean like does it slip on the amp input to easy, you could buy new ends and cut the old off and solder new ones on,

it has been my experience that repairing could be a pain and time consuming and might not be successful

its a tight fit, its the wire that goes into the jack that is loose so the slightest move will cut music in or out. I will be attempting to repair it.
