I have tried: taping them together, hot glueing them together and ziptying it right to the frame to prevent jiggle.
All have failed.
Right now, when I reconnect them and apply pressure, I can't even get the engine to turn on anymore. But the speedometer still works and that signal is sent through the engine cable too.
Recently, sometimes the engine rear wheel barely rolls when I roll the bike backwards.
There are no ebike repair stores in my city.
You could try zip ties. Put one on both the male and female side (where the cable meets the base of the connector). Then use one or two other zip ties to hold them together.
I don't have zip ties to show an example, but hopefully you get the idea. Might work temporarily until you can get a new cable.
