F350 Electrical Connector Problems
My 1997 F350 XLT Crew Cab (7.3 Diesel) has 330K on the clock. 
The electrical connectors that run the rear door lock actuators are cracked and don't stay attached any more. Hard to get in and out.
The door lock actuators are original and work fine, so I'd like to get replacement connectors.
All I can find out on the web and at the local dealer is that WPT-312 and WPT-1117 connectors are listed for this truck, but they don't look anything like the connectors that I have. Some places say that these connectors are for the BASE model, not my XLT. The connectors that I have are oval shaped and have two vertical slots for the spade lugs on the actuator. There's a slot in one long oval side and a clip on the other side. I've got a PDF file off the web that lists all the WPT connectors and none of them look like what I have.
I have similar problems looking for the window switch connector and the courtesy light connector, which are also broken. In these cases, I can find a part that looks right (WPT 212 and WPT 527), but every place says that they are not listed for my truck.
Has anyone else dealt with this before? Anyone have a reliable source for 1997 F350 electrical parts?

If you can find the connector in the catalog then you'll have a part number to search for which will make it much easier.
