Wires coming out of connector - (multi-function switch) easy fix?

2 Wires are coming out of connector - (it is my multi-function switch but could be any connector) -- everything still looks good -- just wires coming out -- is there an easy fix? I have JB Weld 2 part epoxy and/or a tube of clear roofing silicone? Napa has the connector (ec124) with pigtails -- so worse case -- I will go that route.

Take a close look at the terminals and you should see some sort of a tab or a slot that keeps them seated in the plastic connector. Either the tab is missing on the connector or the terminal. So when you plug it in the terminal slips out. Replace or bend the tab/terminal/connector.

Unhappy Messed up wire help

Your picture helps a little. I have messed up all the wire in my connector column. I was trying to fix a turn signal, brake light issue from a previous post. the connector was loose and as i pulled it out the wires came out. Do you happen to have a picture of how all the wires go back in. I have a 2001 F 150 supercrew. Oh and because of my stupid mistake my truck does not start now. any helpful suggestions.
