Disappointed that Lionel didn't include wire/connector with replacement motor

Corbin O'ReillyOGR Forum Member

Recently I had to replace the motor myself in the James LioneChief engine because the 1 year warranty was up. 1 year warranty for such expensive stuff is ridiculous. Anyway the motor has a wire/connector assemby that snaps in the PCB board so I thought it would be simple to swap out. When the new motor arrived it did not include the wire/connector assembly and as you can see in this parts diagram it isn't even listed:

Do they expect me to unsolder the wire/connector assembly from the old motor and solder it to the replacement one? Seems like a lot of work for a 50 cent wire/connector, they should have just included it. I would have gladly paid another $1 to have it come completely ready to swap out.
