Power Seat Plug

On a recent road trip where I tried to see just how many people could fit in the back seat (not comfortably), it seems as though someone or something put pressure on the power seats plug/connection under the drivers seat. The red power wire (1 of 3) going into the female side of the plug was pulled out. The 1 individual red wire going into the 4 prong plug was disconnected from the individual connector within the plug. What I thought would be a quick and easy fix of releasing the individual connector turned out to be a long painful process and I finally ended up getting the connector out (with lots of persuasion) only to find out that the lead for this specific connector is worn and broke off. I am trying to find a part number/place to get this electrical connector to restore the connection. Auto stores have stuff similar, but everything is to big to fit inside the plastic 4 prong plug (3 wires, 1 empty slot). It is the female individual connector for the entire plug. I would like to avoid making a whole new plug for all of the wires. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re:Power Seat Plug

Some dealers have a box full of all different types of connectors, you basically have to sort though them to find the right one. I lucked out once but have failed twice looking for the correct connectors.
Might be easier just to buy new matching male and females from the auto parts

Re:Power Seat Plug

I made it to a dealer yesterday and they werent exactly helpful and said they could only order an entirely new harness, but couldnt get a part number for me. They told me they did not keep misc electrical connectors around told me to go to a junk yard. I may resort to putting a temporary connection in until I can replace it back into the actual plug. I like to keep things as original as possible.
