Any JY part will likely be in the same shape or not long from being so. Solder and heat shrink the splices.

Some of the connectors have flanges on the pins that can be depressed so they can be removed. If that's the case with this you could removed the pins, strip some of the wire and re-crimp or resolder. Then snap back in place.
That pigtail looks like a nice option though.

Re: repair advice needed for relay connection

Thank you everyone, I think i will go with the pigtail option and solder the harness back together.

I actually have two of the same issue, else where and will see if i can also find pigtails for those areas.

I am not sure how this came to be, but def not good. they really feel like they have been pulled right out of it.

It sometimes helps if you offset the solder connections so it isn't as bulky in one spot. Also ensures it doesn’t short out as the connections aren't next to each other.
