Best solution.... Cut the wire, carefully strip both ends until you find clean, shiny wire, add heatshrink, twist wire together, solder, slip the heatshrink over the splice and heat it with a heat gun.
2nd best solution.... cut the wire, strip it back 3/16" (after finding clean shiny wire) use a heatshrink, crimp connecter with a proper crimping tool. Heat the connector with heat gun until it seals the wire.
3rd best solution... cut the wire, strip it back 3/16" (after finding clean shiny wire) use a non-heatshrink, crimp connecter with a proper crimping tool.
I would recommend NOT using one of those quick-connectors. A lot of the time, if you strip that wire back, you may find the copper has turned black from corrosion and poor connection. That wire should be removed to obtain a proper connection.
