Same happened to me last year.  I obtained some reasonably thick, copper

stranded wire (I don't remember the gauge, but slightly thicker than the stock

wires) and respliced where the wire had broken.  It seemed that the OEM

configuration was relatively tight -- i.e., a short stretch of wire (about an

inch or two) was taking all the flex.  To fix it, I spliced in about a

half-foot length to allow the flex to occur along the _entire_ newly spliced

area.  So far, the repair has functioned without breaking for about a year. 

Of course, it could break tomorrow...



Good luck,
