You can repair the broken connection by crimping a new terminal to it, or by splicing a piece of already-crimped wire to it.
Honda uses hand-crimped terminals in their harnesses, not soldered. It requires a special crimper that rolls a crimp over the plastic insulation, and rolls another crimp that goes over the bare wire. Much better than the normal single-crimp connectors found at auto parts stores. The additional crimp on the insulation acts like a strain relief so much less likely to pull apart.
These terminals have a locking tab that holds them into the multiple connectors, and can be released with a small blade (you can use a paper clip and smash the tip flat with a hammer).

For this repair, I would find an old wire that has the same terminal, cut and splice it. Be sure it has the retaining tab on the bottom side, otherwise the connector will slide out the back. I would clean all the terminals in the connector block and pack di-electric grease into the back (never on the terminals themselves).
