Yes def could be the connector. Go ahead and swap it out, do the best neatest possible job of it (solder the wires, use heat shrink on them, tape over that) to prevent future trouble.

Good time to learn...

Doing the other will just postpone the day of reckoning, if even that.

Re: Code 15

Soldering is easy, and the gun is fairly cheap too.

If you want to check if it is the connector or not, just do your twist or crimp it together for the test, but the best way to do it is solder.

But make sure they connections inside the connector are clean (no rust or anything) and that male connectors on the CTS are in good shape too.
