Ok Dave, you'll need to separate the connector. Then dig out the red pin retainer inside. This will allow you to gently bend back the barb that retains the pin in the connector at the same time pulling on the wire to the offending pin and removing it. This way you can see if it is the wire that is coming out of the pin or if the pin itself has become enlarged(due to excess movement of the broken connector). If the latter is true(and it's a female pin), you can just squeeze the pin around it's circumference to make it small enough for a good contact again. If it's the male pin you may need to prise it open slightly to improve contact.
After reassembly try to immobilise the connector as much as possible. Make sure there is no stress on the wiring.

Pete.
