Half right, thats the plug side, the thing it plugs into is rigid plastic 
mounted to the metal of the car. I can't even get it OUT of the car without 
breaking it. The two screws that hold it both broke and gentle prying on the 
block got exactly zero... I put a zip tie on to ensure it won't work loose...

I know nothing of 123s so YMMV, but in my experience with 124s and
126s, those plastic junction blocks and connectors in M-Bs can always
be dissassembled for repair or replacement without destroying them.
The trick is figuring out how---every one is different, but there's
always some little tab somewhere to be bent back, or a secret slot
into which you have to insert a tiny screwdriver blade, etc.  Then you
can solder a new pin to the broken wire in the case of connectors,
etc.  Or am I not getting what you're talking about when you refer to
a junction block?  :)
