OK - If not clear that you can fuss with that socket then get a pigtail end splice just like it and solder it in then have shrink wrap over that splice. Personally I go further and paint it after that with liquid electrical tape so no chance of water getting in the splice for those that are exposed especially.


If you don't have the stuff and this isn't hard to get to it would be a "while you wait" repair at a shop if you could demonstrate right where and what it saves the tech the time to look anywhere else or waste time as you found it,

Make sure that the connector on the vehicle side is in good shape and clean. Most part stores should have that socket with harness in stock. Quick and easy.
