Trim system wireing question

"Discovered a problem with the trim up function yesterday.Trim down works fine , trim up was working intermittently.If I press the button enough times eventually it will catch for a second.Took the cowl off and checked the sky blue/white wire{ up relay } and the snap plug is loose.I tried clamping down on the female end with pliers to tighten but apparently this is not the shapeable/bendable type metal connector.I'm thinking maybe the male end is just worn down? How do I re-connect this? Just cut the male end off and put a new one on? There's also a black insulating sleeve toward the end of the male connecter."

This is a water tight connection. I'd first by pass this connection and make sure it is the cause before you cut it. (jumper wire from male end to solenoid)
This connector should be cleaned and the female end will close with the right amount of pressure from a pair of pliers or by putting a metal block on one side of the connector and then TAP the connector with a small brass or plastic hammer. Insert a small screw driver or something like that into the female end while trying to close it so you do not crush the connector by accident.
It is best not to cut this connection unless you can replace it with another water tight connector. Use sealing compound when you put the connector together.
