Vetter top box 3 pin plug replacement

[Ansimp]

The old plug had the center wire bypassed and kept falling out even though I had cable tied the harness to the grab rail. Picked up a similar style replacement plug and socket that has a latching mechanism so hopefully no more accidental disconnects.
