Does anyone out there have pics of what these
connections should look like?  I just had my
compressor
replaced and the shop guy said that the connection on
the right kind of had a melt down.  They replaced it
with a generic crimp connector and I'm not sure this
is the way to go.  Can someone post a picture of what
it how it should be done correctly?

Thanks,

Steven
