Default Power Window Switch Connector Wiring???

My goal this winter is to work on fixing my electrical issues. While I have the console out, I though I'd look at an intermittent issue with power window switch. When I got to the switch connector, I saw the exposed wiring -- this can't be good. How do you fix this? I saw a pigtail in an old YearOne catalog, but was wondering how others have repaired theirs.

The easiest way is to just replace the window and lock pigtails. Not sure what year but if you have power locks ,replace the lock switches as well.

Thanks Roger . . . I think that is the route I'll take. I looked on the Willcox site but could not find when I searched on Power Window. Worked when I searched Pigtail. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction; I'll get an order to Willcox -- got to replace tach board too.

Default Tach board

Besure to use the cardboard washers. Also take off the negative cable on the battery & don't reconnect until dash is completely re-assembled.
