Default Multifunction switch problems

Alright, i was having the usual headlight problem due to the multifunction turn signal switch. I bought the switch and went to replace it but the middle 3 wire straight plastic harness melted and broke in half when i disconnected it. I tried buying the replacement harness from 50resto but apparently they think there is only 1 harness going to it not 3. Any ideas on where to get this annoying piece of plastic?

there is 1 harness and 3 wires to it.

it sounds like you had a miscommunication of terminology there.

no my mistake on not being clear. there are three separate harness' going to that switch, i need the straight shaped one with four wires going into it. 50 resto only sells the odd c shaped one and not the other two.

i know what your talking about, theres three connectors that plug in the back, ones for blinkers ones for windshield wipers and the others for brights, the one your talkabout is for the brights, i dont know were to get it other than the local pick a part. just a thought but you could look at other year models also maybe some f 150s , the turn switch was practically the same it wont work, but the connector should
