Default Electrical Harness Broke At Positive Terminal

Hello everyone, I just noticed a issue on my 97 Volvo 850 while replacing the pcv system.

While I was putting everything back together, I noticed that the harness that goes to the positive terminal broke off! This is not the harness for the starter but for everything else.

What do I need to do to fix this? Its kinda freaking me out just because I don't know how to do electrical work. But always willing to learn.

If you wanna get down and learn something cool buy a cheap soldering gun and watch YouTube on how to do a solid solder.

Ring terminals available from auto parts store, hardware store, electronics store (radio shack) or even big box store (home depot ...).

You just need to cut off the old connector and strip a little insulation off the wires and use a pliers, vice grip or a crimper if you have one to attach the ring connector. It's much better if you can solder it and it would also be nice to use a little heat shrink tubing to seal it or "liquid" electrical tape.
