Oxbow Thanks this.

Edit to add: There was still a film of dielectric grease on the bullet connectors, we just wiped the excess off. Dielectric grease is not conductive, but it sure works well to combat corrosion.Last Call Thanks this. -

It's a little hard to tell the size based on pictures. The width of the pin correlates to the connector size: 1.5mm = 150, 2.8mm = 280, etc
The small 2 pin connector looks like a metripack 150

The larger 16 pin connector looks like metripack GT series, also 150

Measure the width of the pin to make sure. Terminals come in a couple sizes to accomodate various wire sizes, usually the larger size is what you need. Mouser, digikey, or other places have them, just search for the terminal part number. I don't have any of the GT series terminals and only a few of the regular metripacks otherwise I'd send you some
Might as well order some of each, male and female, they'll be handy to have for the next time this happens. Also get a crimper that will make a proper crimp. All the connector companies sell a specific crimper for their terminals for $$$, but one of these will work fine with a little practice:
