I have a phantom 3 4k and recently went to replace the legs due to one snaping and the other one be bent.
I replace the leg one leg with the Receiver Antenna and clipped it by accident when putting the cap back on. Try to see if I can patch it up for now as I have a job friday.
I spiced it and tried put them together and it worked but now the GPS singal is cutting in and out when moving postion.
Please anyone have any suggestions. thanks.

Maybe you're confusing the RC antenna with the GPS antenna?  

If not, I'd replace that cable.

Good idea to replace the entire antenna.  These things are so delicate, they seem to know when something has been tampered with.

The landing gears have compass model and antennas, but no GPS module. I would suggest sending the drone in for repair for the safety of flight. Thanks for your understanding. https://repair.dji.com/en/SelfRepair/Area

The GPS unit/antenna is under the middle of the top cover of the airframe.  I doubt you broke that, but you are having intermittent telemetry transmissions between the aircraft and controller.  Definitely replace the antenna in any damaged legs.
