Broken blade in one of my wiring harness connectors

[Jbrookins]

The 3rd blade on this connector is broken and I'm not sure what to do and if I can order o e from somewhere I don't want to have to replace the entire harness. It connects to the trim pump

Yes that would be the one

the red wire supplies power to the control box handel , that comes off the main buss across the solenoids,the blue is "up" and can be connected directly to the solenoid or thru a connector, same for the green "down."

Being a farmer, and running into similar situations more times than I care to remember, I would suggest the following: Clip the broken wire from either side of the connector, strip the ends and solder them together ( make a short jumper with similar size wire if necessary). A few coats of Liquid Tape will waterproof it. Should be good for a semi-perminate repair.
