Default Broken wire connector, need help

One of the connectors that gets pluged into the back of the cigarett lighter to give power is broken. Does anyone know where i could buy a new one? i know i could go to the bone yard but its cold as hell out.

That's all I know of off the top of my head. A bit expensive though.

what I have done before is removed the factory one and gone down to the local parts store and bought a universal one that has universal make your own connections with crimp on connectors and rewired it with new connections = total cost of 5-7 dollars

So it was the actual connection on it.. Gotta be more careful when you yank that bezel off next time

i think walmart sells the cig lighters.. they usually come with the correct connection and a length of wire..
so get that take the connection you need, get a crimp connector or solder it and you're good to go
