is it possible to cut off the broken connector, and solder the wires together? I know how to solder, but just asking if it would be safe. Im moving to California soon, and I need to prepare my car for the California smog! lol

The better way would be to de-pin the connector, buy a used connector from a cut up wiring harness, and push the pins back in the new connector. You can usually take the pin out of a connector by taking a needle and inserting it from the back of the connector and pushing a little clip up that holds the wire in. I suppose you can probably get by if you de-pin the connectors, then push just the pins together, and wrap with electrical tape.

oh actually I figured it out, I got a butt connecter, and im gonna cut the broken connector out of the circuit, and crimp the wires into the new connector. The wires became a lil too short, so I soldered a new wire to make it longer so it will work. Thanks for the help though, I will give it a try and see if I can get the air pump working again =)
