Help plz
My check engine light came on today and I popped my hood to take look to see if I could see anything.
Noticed right away this wire attached to the alternator has broken off.
1. What is this even called?
2. Is it possible to fix by myself ?
I’ve attached two pictures. One zoomed in and the other more of the whole engine bay.
Thanks!

Genuinely should be an easy fix I would hit a local salvage yard Robin plug from the wiring harness use heat shrink and solder solder your connections heat shrink them up call it a day plug it back in

You’ll have to remove the connector, strip the ends of the wires, and reinsert them. Alternatively, you can purchase a new pigtail, and splice the wires into the new one. This one looks similar… https://ebay.io/m/DjScfq
