My dog chewed up my plug on my charger. I thought it would be an easy fix. Seems like I need a NEMA 5-15 plug but I don't know what to do with the two little thin wires, can anyone help me? It is the 120v, 12A 60 HZ, 1440 W charger that came with the car 2017. It has 5 wires 3 thick are white, green and black (or dark grey) the two thin wires are light blue and tan. It is a 3 prong straight blade plug. Thank you in advance. I already called Ford and they of course only have a charger and no supporting parts. I looked all over the internet and you tube but couldn't find anything.

So I very carefully used an exacto knife and weeded out the rubber around the chewed plug so I could find out where the wires went to. Alas, that didn't really help me out with my limited knowledge. What I found was the two little wires didn't go to the any of the prongs. They went to a rubber plug just above the ground wire in the center of the plug. I don't know what that connector? (blue and orange stripe) is. Is that just a connector or is that some type of a resistor? The thin wires are bare about half an inch before they enter that "thing" I took pictures that hopefully explain it better than I can. Thanks!
In the first picture you can see where the rubber that looks like little pincers wrapped around the ground so you know the direction everything was set
