Nah, the short wasn't at the crimped terminal - it was in an uncrimped Phoenix connector. The wires sticking out past the crimp point is not an issue and, depending on the housing, quite useful. But as I said, the short wasn't a crimp and it wasn't actually inside the housing. Downside of the no-crimp connectors is that sometimes stranded wires get loose - though this is the first time I've actually had this issue and I use those connectors everywhere lol.
