I see what you mean sorry, You have the adjustable suspension I guess. Man I hope you can find a solution other than having to buy the whole thing. Good luck on this--

I do own a 13. I didn't cut the wires. I was putting lowering springs on it and I dropped the strut and when it landed it was on the end the wires come out of. The wires were pinched between strut and ground causing them to get cut.

If you cut only the insulation on the wire, just triple wrap electrical tape tightly around the wire at the cut & you should be good to go. Check the tightness of the tape occasionally.

Unfortunately the way they are made and the weight of them the wires are no longer attached and there is not enough wire sticking out to splice them. Found some from a 2012 was curious on fitment. I'm not sure if one is taller than the other or if bottom mount is the same. They should have same dampening system in them, if not if should be close.

The '12 does not have the push button suspension. It sounds like you may need a whole new strut. Bummer
