Default 2001 Bcm corroded wire terminals inside female plug causing madness

I cannot drive without having to randomly pull over and go to my Bcm and wiggle and position Bcm in certain angle so my wires are getting full connection because the metal ends on the wires inside my two pink and green connectors to the Bcm are corroded and rotted and sitting loose and lose connection on bumps dips hard turns and causing reduced engine power and have to pull over and either reset and erase codes real quick or have to mess around with the wires to Bcm connectors to get back on the road and I can’t find the replacement terminals or new used replacement plug connectors and it’s such a dumb irritating problem that is driving me absolutely nuts and I can’t find a wire diagram to these wires either so I can know what wire is causing certain things to go retarded if anyone knows where I can find the easiest fix for this please let me know and also can’t find out what wire to the Bcm or fuse to fuse box deals with the back license plate lights cause I can’t get them to come on even change bulbs and can’t figure it out….

Search flyBay, there are many listings for BCM harnesses pig tails...you may be able to get something and cannibalize connector pins and wires
