Hey guys,

I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline I'm trying to repair for a friend. Whomever did the "repair" before me botched the job and the harness shorted out and melted down maybe 3" in from the connector. I cut back to clean wire and plan to solder in a similar gauge wire and would like to find the connector to go into the blower motor. The blower motor does not have a pigtail (or I would have just soldered wire straight to it for now) so the plug goes directly into the BM. I could use covered spade connectors but i'd rather get the proper connector. I can't seem to find anything online except for the entire HVAC harness. I looked at the blower motor and what it "fit" and even after searching for those vehicles i came up empty. It's difficult to look at photo's online and compare the part I saw as sizes are difficult to figure out.

Sorry, i don't have a photo of it currently with me. The connector was fairly charred and melted down. There were no discerning part numbers on it either. I know it doesn't help much, but the part number is 32157-SJC-A11. I've read numerous things about the connectors melting down and blower motor resistor replacement, etc. I don't know the history of the vehicle but I could tell the repair wasn't a great one.

Is it involved? She doesn't want to put much time or money into the vehicle but needs working AC (defrost)/heat for the winter time. If i dont' have to pull a ton of things out that would be the way i'd want to go. Otherwise my plan was to replace just that end since the copper wire i cut back to was fresh.
