Unhappy Main Relay? Melted Connectors? Help!

Checking my car today I found this:



Not knowing what it is, I checked the FSM's, and found out it's the "Main Relay" (it is the Main Relay.... right? )

Sooo... I checked the 2 connectors that it has coming out of the bottom, and found this:



They look like... melted?

What should I do? Is this bad? Help please!

Looks like someone spilled a little clutch fluid on them and it disolved the rubber.

Hmmm... sounds about right...

What should I do? Replace the connectors or something?

Where can I buy these connectors?

20 year old car?..only way you 'd get those connectors is if someone is selling a Harness or the Main relay..IS the Car running OK?.IF it is,then you have a couple choices..leave it Be, OR:Change the connectors,OR:Hard wire it(that is Solder the wires together and get rid of the Connector).it's up to you.
