Short Circuit in the wiring harness crankshaft sensor connector

3 holes in the connector, when checking them with multimeter 2 of the three read 0.00 but the third one is all over the place reading from 12.000 to 13

Can i cut the 3 wires to the sensor connector, cut the three same wires at the base of the wiring harness and splice in three new wires and make that work?

I need some ideas to fix this harness short. I mean the box end of the harness is right by the right side wheel well, the distance from that to the actuall crankshaft sensor is not much maybe a foot or two. I could wire that connectore seperate and tape it nice and neat along side the harness.

I need some ideas i am sposed to be getting 8 volts from sensor power only getting 5 and it is shorted.

Been working on this problem for 2 weeks now, help is very much appreciated.
