Check out fordpartsgiant.com
They have pictures of every connector available but it helps to have the number associated with it, that would be in the factory repair manual. If you have u-pull junkyards you should be able to find some on a similar year car(most likely '95-97 are the same). |

Avoid the stealership! A junk yard will be your next best option. You can do a Google search for the connectors. There are several companies that make the connectors for the auto manufacturers that will sell to the public, but it depends on what lot sizes they want. If you have to buy a hundred at a time, what are you gong to do with the ones you don't need?
Here is an old trick I have used myself until I could get the right part in. Use a match book cover as a wedge to hold the connector in place. I've done this with radio connectors, on the steering wheel, and on light modules. It is only temporary for a couple of weeks. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Another thing you could try is to open up the connecting points (the little metal blades) slightly to make a better contact and hold. sometimes it works; sometimes not. I once broke off the plastic locking piece on the power connector for a Pioneer radio. I carefully spread the blades open until it stayed in place, and meant to order another connector. Five years later when I traded in the car and went to replace the radio back to factory, I realized I never ordered the replacement connector.
