If you are careful, you can open up one of the black electrical connectors and
remove the wire. The wire is attached to the connector with insulation piercing
points. It is not soldered. Just lift the wire out, and cut it to the desired
length. When re-installing the shorter wire, be careful not to squash the
insulation piercing fingers. I use a small ice pick or nail to "pre-punch" the
insulation, so the contact fingers go in easier. The end result is a wire with
the desired length, and no visible sign of tampering.
