Broken Electrical connector coil pack

[VWFox74]

Last night I was working on my 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan in 20 degree temps. I had to disconnect my electrical connector to my Coil Pack and broke off the tab that keeps it together. Is there a easy fix for this to ensure it doesn't come apart while I am driving? I put it back together and the car runs fine and the connection seems secure, but I don't want the engine vibrations to work this plug loose. I assume if it comes loose when I am driving, the engine is going to just shut off on me. I've attached a picture of a similar part so you can get an idea of what I broke.

I just want to know the best fix, right now I have electrical tape wrapped around it so it doesn't come loose. But I would like a more secure fix.

Short of replacing the connector, there is no proper fix. Tie strap, tape, or ignore, it is likely never to come apart.

Dab of Silicone on it like everybody else does.

Yup silicone will work fine.

Right. Don't worry.
But glue is good - I'd use Silicone RTV once it is plugged in.

I just wire tied it together with one of those plastic wire ties. It's probably stronger then the little plastic clip I snapped off Thanks everyone for their reply

if you are really worried about it, you can go to a dealer or any parts shop and buy the pigtail and solder it in.

Hahaha!! I somehow managed to break one of the ears off the distributor housing on my truck. I had no time to get a new distributor, so my cap is held on with two zip ties in a X pattern around the cap and distributor housing. Been that way for two years now. Forgot all about it until a couple of weeks ago when I did a tune up and replaced the cap.

Just get a weatherpack connector shell and a connector tool. It's a 5 minute fix.

Another vote for RTV sealant after everything is connected.
