The yellow one on mine was broken, looked like it'd been cut right through. I cut the other wire as well, and spliced in an additional 2 ins. since thats why it broke to start with....was too tight! Complete fix took about an hour for me. All shifting and manual shift problems are gone.
I suspect this one will be a common problem on 2004-2007 Malibus and many people wouldnt even notice it.
If anyone wants more detailed instructions on the console removal and the fix, let me know.

I would like to more shadow5599, just in case if it ever happens to mine sometime down the road...
Maybe you could post the procedure here for others to find while doing a search, that would be really helpful. Pictures and diagrams work best if you have any!
