Default Repairing Defi wire

One of my push connectors that go to the back of the link unit has broken off, as in the wires have broken free and left the plastic block connected to the link unit... The wires are quite small so im thinking this might not be an un heard of problem, so whats the fix?????

I dont want to buy a new sensor harness etc etc, so is the solution to solder the wires direct to the pin outs on the link unit?? or can small block connectors like these be bought somewhere?

You can probably re-solder it if you are any good, it might need a piece of brass wire down the block. I WOULDN'T solder direct to the pins, you run the risk of damage unseen inside the gauge, and you will have difficulty if you ever want it off again.

You CAN get the wiring from sensor to control box without having to buy the sensor.

I was hoping just to repair it rather than buying new wiring, i thought maybe these connector blocks maybe available to buy from somewhere, so i could just crimp new block onto wire
