Hi,

I attached a pic below. Are you referring to one of the connectors in the pic? If you are, that can't be repaired. They are under pressure and there really isn't a way to fix it.

Let me know if that is what you are referring to.

Take care,

Joe

If it is disconnected, it won't get the fuel to run. I suspect you will need to replace the fuel pump module assembly. Or have you already done that?

Let me know.
