: WIF Sensor wire connection

After changing my fuel filter, when re-connecting the WIF Sensor wire, I ran into a problem with the oval-shaped red rubber ring that fits on the male end. It seems with this ring, which I suppose is meant to protect the connection from moisture, I can't get the two ends snapped together. I tried stuffing the ring down inside the female end, but couldn't seat it just right. It's tough to see what you're doing with the intercooler pipe in the way, but I don't want to start dis-assembling everything. This should be a simple fix. I searched the threads and I seem to be the one and only to have run into this. Anyone else have this happen to them, and if so what's the secret to getting around it?

P.S. my spelling sucks too guys, so take it just as me poking fun, not as an attack! Besides, he has the right idea with his suggestion, however spit may not be the best soloution at that connection, Di-Electric Grease would be the better choice given the two.
