Fixing a lot of old wiring in my 1990 2.1 engine compartment. I ran into this connector for the crankcase heater 1 wire was broken off. Where can I find a replacement? Thanks in advance

coupla solutions...

Easy. strip back some insulation and take a pointy soldering iron tip to re-attach the wire on the brass terminal. slather with your favorite RTV to stabilize wire.

Cleaner. release the lock tab on the terminal, pull the terminal out, and resolder the wire proper. the lock tab location varies, dunno on this terminal, but it can be seen with examination. requires a thin flat pointy device to be inserted to push tab down to release connector from the plastic.
