Default Remote start hood switch broke!!

Is there a way to bypass this hood switch?

Or do I have to see if Jeep can order me a new one?

The problem is that one of the 2 little prongs that are in the plug is broke off in the female end.

What can I do?!

Looks like a pretty simple circuit. When plunger is down it completes the circuit, when plunger is up (hood open) it breaks the circuit. You could just defeat the safety switch by inserting a jumper wire at the connector until you can get it repaired.
