Ok i have searched on here for about a half hour and cant get all the info i need to fix my problem. My car isn't throwing a CEL but i posted a log a couple days ago after my car wouldn't start and a guy told me my CTS was bad so i got the new part and went to install it today and i found the wires to be completely off of the CTS in the car already they had come apart from the connector, so i read that you can actually fix this problem just by grounding those two wires to the housing how would i do this, and does anybody have pics of what it looks like after its done, or should i just find a way to reconect the wires to the plug i cant just crimp them on because the guy that had the car before me had done it previously and no the wires are to short and they don't have enough slack to not be pulling on the sensor's plug even if they were plugged in can i get extra wire or something. I really just need a quick fix to get the car from my house to my dads shop about 5 miles away and it is getting really cold so i want to get the car into his shop soon so i can start my turbo swap and such, any quick fix tips would be appreciated thanks.

Use the spade connector method and trash the OE connector, its really simple. Below is something I threw together in MS paint really fast so you understand, I'd take a picture but I've got a 2g in the garage.
