yeah you just need a new plug. you can push the wires out of the old one and match the colors to plug in the new one.

no, if you look very closesly, one of the white wires is fatter than the other. The fatter white one goes is the ignition wire, and you can also see that it is sorta separated from the other white wire, which sits next to the white/blue wire.

Hope that helps, and yes, you can just cut and solder the wires together, but I'd recommend just depinning and repinning, it shouldn't take more than 60 seconds if you know how to repin/depin plugs. You just use a very small flathead screwdriver and push up on the locking tabs on the inside of the plug.
