That connector is likely the problem with the backglass lights, but not the others.

You "could" switch to trifurcon and there are some who say you "should".
It would be slightly more work to crimp the terminals, and you would need a crimping tool.
It would make a better connection.
Rotordave is correct that for home use, original IDC connectors are probably fine.
It took YEARS of heavy use to fry that existing connector.
Opinions vary, and you can probably find a dozen arguments about it on here if you search.
