yo Sixer, WELCOME!

Call OUR SPONSOR for the connector; 4 Bronco Graveyard. It is not listed in on-line catalog, but they may have a good used piece.

If NA;

Best bet is one from a Yard Queen;

YO,

I checked many Bronco parts sources know to have old parts; no luck;

they include;

http://www.rockauto.com/

Jeffs

http://npdlink.com/store/

best bet for now is to get two similar Male and female connectors and splice wires in; should be weather pack type or seal wires into connector and use shrink tubing; others have used the connectors below, male & female, w/ insulated wire crimp ends;
