I am guessing that the connector is a spade type. If it is, go and purchase a new one and reconnect all the wire to it and take sand paper to the male end of the connection to clean it up and then reconnect the female end. Trying to clean rust out of a female connector is next to impossible and the connectors are dirt cheap. Take the connector with you to the auto parts store to get the correct size and you will be in business in short order.
Hpefully a picture will come this time. It is a wire that just broke no spade connection. I figured I would solder back together to continue to trouble shoot system If this doesn't work the only thing left is the control board which I will test next. The ground is the left hand nut when I went to take it off it pulled the wire out. The terminals and nut were rusty. Lesson learned is remove the gas valve first if nut and terminals are rusted together.
