BS - just cause a parts dep dude does not know how to search for partnumbers doesn't mean that they don't sell single connectors...wannabet that I can give you the partnumber of the connector you needed?

hey he did try to tell me that i needed a new unit, then i pull out the other part of the clip from the unit told him this is the only thing i needed.the idiot went to ask the mechanic and they told him i needed the whole wiring harness.maybe they wanted to scam me.
