What happens here
Once all three wires are securely attached to their respective terminals, slide the outer plastic cover of the plug back into place. Ensure it fits snugly over the wired terminals. Reinsert and tighten any remaining screws that hold the plug housing together. Repeat this entire process for the other damaged end of the extension cord, installing the second new replacement plug (if applicable). The video demonstrates one end being completed, and the final shot shows both ends repaired. The creator highlights that this repair saved approximately $40 compared to buying new cords, for a total cost of $4 for the replacement plugs.
Goal: Complete the plug assembly and ensure it is ready for use.
