Hi folks, I confess at the outset I'm a complete electrical idiot. I have a 10 year old Delta 50-760 dust collector (1.5 HP). It wouldn't turn on this morning so I opened up the switch housing. I noticed a loose red wire floating around. It looks like the black thingamajigger in my hand has a cracked housing at the top of it. The thingamajigger that is still in the housing has two red wires going into it, so I suspect the loose wire is supposed to go in the one in my hand-- but I didn't see a place for it to go.

Anyone have any ideas?
