Hi mrutherford7,

Thank you for the donation.

Remove the broken terminal from the connector. If the other end has a white or other colored piece in the center, use a sharp object to pry it out. You would see a locking tab inside. Pry the locking tab away and push the old terminal out.

Get a new terminal to clamp onto the broken wire and push it back into the connector. Reinstall the locking piece and you are good to go.
