Not quite sure what you mean, did you break a wire harness loom that keeps all the wires bundled together or did you break an actual plug connector?
If you broke a loom clip them use black electrical tape to wrap the wires back together. If you broke a plug, go to the dealer and buy the new plug or harness. the new plug will have mew wires already attached and all you'll have to do is match color, cut, splice, solder, heat shrink and plug back in.
If you have another problem for some reason or another that I haven't hit on then I'd suggest going to your local parts stor or dealership and buy the repair manual for your car, turn to the electricl schematic section and follow your color codes from there..
Good Luck

Is there green corosion on the tip of the wire ? Chances are the answer is yes. You will have to detach the fuse panel/box and run a new wire and connector to the fuse panel. Splice into the wire you can see, but make sur you cut enough of the wire off to get rid of the corrosion.Hope this helps.

My valet mode in my Cadillac dts will not turn off. It's a 2006. Can't get to my music or my trunk won't open. Please help.

It may be the ALDL fuse in the underhood fuse block, so check that. If OK, it may be the trunk release relay in the fuse block under the rear seat - also check that.
If those are OK, the valet switch in the glove box may have failed in the open position. Remove the glove box and disconnect the wire connector from the switch; then jumper the two wires together. If that fixes the problem, replace the switch.

My 89 civic lx keeps blowing the battery fuse everytime I connect the battery

My first guess would be a short inside the alternator, so if you have replaced it, look for a shorted wire in the harness.
Disconnect the wires from the alternator and everything connected to the battery, then connect one at a time until the fuse blows.
Could be a problem with the starter solenoid too.

I found relays in the box for the parking and driver lamps, but not the low beams.

I would check the color of the wires leading to the low beams and try to match it up with the tables I sent you under 'circuit' column.

How to find fuse for a 2006 chevy equinox driver's power window

power windows are not usually fused. They have a circuit breaker that controls all the windows. So if only one window is not working it is something like a bad switch or window motor. Remove the door panel and unplug the connector to the window motor and check for power and ground when activating the switch.

How do I remove the factory installed radio from 2006 Honda Pilot LX

I'm doing this from memory since it's been about four months since I actually did this.
This is for a 2005 LX. EX procedure may be slightly different.

Disconnect the negative battery cable and make sure it can't come back into contact with the negative battery terminal.

1) Remove the plastic tab (where a push button probably is for EX model) to the upper right of the radio.
2) Carefully pry off the plastic piece which surrounds the stereo. I used a thin screwdriver and sock, and slightly scraped things up. In hindsight I should have used a specialized pry tool for removing such things. I think there were four or five places where this plastic panel is clipped into place.
3) After you get the plastic panel pried off, slowly remove it. You will need to disconnect the three wire harnesses connected to the buttons / indicators on the plastic panel.
4) The plastic panel should now be out of the way. Remove the four mounting screws holding the radio in place.
5) Slowly slide the radio towards you. Disconnect the wire harness and the antenna.
6) You should be ready to install a new stereo.

As a side note, when pulling the wire harnesses apart be sure to pull from the plastic connectors and not on the wires. If you pull on the wires, they may come loose from the harnesses.

If you are hooking up an aftermarket stereo, be sure to use a wire harness to connect from the aftermarket stereo to the Pilot's harness (otherwise you'll end up having to cut off the Pilot's wire harness which isn't ideal). I'd also recommend soldering and heat shrink tubing the aftermarket stereo's wiring to the aftermarket stereo's wire harness. It takes a while longer than the crimp or electrical tape method but ensures a robust connection and no electrical shorts when done correctly.

My aftermarket stereo has a power antenna connection. This needed to be connected (the Pilot's antenna is part of the rear window and thus isn't powered) because there is a signal booster which requires power (otherwise you won't be able to tune into any AM stations and will get very poor FM reception).
