You broke the tiny little locking tab off that sits in that rectangular opening. You might try pocking around the vehicle for unused connectors that may have the same terminal in it.

I I could identify the terminal, I could just buy a few and use the tooling I have to install them.

I may have to get a fuse block out of a junk van or car of about the same vintage and figure it out and salvage some terminals. They probably wouldn't re-crimp gracefully, but could be soldered.

How about using a zip tie to hold it together?

My local Carquest had some of those terminals, but not the one I needed to replace. I looked everywhere and came up blank. I know, I'm no help, sorry. Good Luck j

No sir, that is me. This is RG

I had RG as my avatar on a boat site, then switched to me in the bass boat. Took them a couple of weeks to notice.

No one has mentioned it. In your searches the 94+ FRT's has the same head light plug. A couple of wires are different color. Just wire in by position.

Switch plug is OK. It's the fuse panel I need parts for.
