Front Turn Signal

My passenger front turn signal lamp connector needs replacing. I put in some angel eyes and they finally went out. Instead of replacing them I decided to take them off and install new headlamps. Problem is when I took them off I accidentaly snipped off too much of the wire from the turn signal connector. I cant get enough to make a good connection and now I don't have a turn signal. Any chance anyone knows a good repacement for this without having to purchase the whloe harness?

If you're good with a soldering:

just get some 6 inch pieces of wire of appropriate color/material/guage and solder them together, creating an extension. Rent a heat gun from Autozone O'Reilly or Advnace auto parts and some pre cut sheets of shrink wrap and wrap the sucker. Should be a water tight good-as-OEM homebrew extension. As for striping the wires, I would definitely suggest you invest in a good set of wire strippers. Teey have saved me so much time and cut fingers. Soldering guns should be around $20 for a decent one (pen style is good to start with) and every home should have a soldering gun. Good solder is also pretty cheap and available at any home improvement store. Some stores sell sets of crimpers and strippers and these are also a worthwhile investment. Nothing beats a good, well-stocked garage.

your dealer should have a motorcraft pigtail replacment book, bring the connector to them and they can match it up and order the pigtail for you.
