FGS Module Install Fail

When I got my car it had a FGS module "installed." The wiring looked a mess and I'm no electrician so I just left it alone...until today. The wiring started to fall out of the little area it used to tuck into and when I went to get out of the car earlier some of the wiring caught my sneaker and it took some of them out of the pin connector piece and seems to have ripped the red wire? Can anyone tell based on the pictures if this wiring can be saved or if I need have it done again? Do I need a new pin connector? Ideally, If it will still work, Id like to run it to the child lock switch on the console as 2phast did so I can always have it plugged in and just turn it on and off as I like. My mechanic doesn't want to mess with this and I'm not the type to leave the car with just anyone so if anyone has any recommendations of shops in the NY/NJ area that know 124's I'd definitely be interested to hear about them. Thanks for your input/advice as always!

Rather than try to explain everything, I will post the FGStart install doc for you. I think you can put that Molex back together, seems like a couple of the wires were pulled out and the red one was cut (should be able to splice that back together without issue)
