Need Transfer Case 4X4 Indicator Switch Pigtail

96 F150 has BW case not sure which one but is floor shift model.

Was cleaning up some exposed wiring with heat shrink and butt splices today to make them at least semi-sealed wires again. The connector that the transfer case indicator switch plugs into the insulation on the wire pretty much came apart on one side when I touched it making me butt splice butting up to the connector just to get it to work again. Anyone by chance have a good website for wiring pigtails? I searched bronco graveyard for this particular pigtail to no avail.

Trying to avoid having to drive out to the junk yard (nearest ford specific one is about 20-25 mins away one way). Have had great luck finding and making replacement pigtails work but nothing on this one.

That's ^^^^^ most likely for an ESOF CONTROL harness. OP has a manual shift and needs the connector for the light switch. It's a d-shaped connector with only two wires.

Golly that looks familiar. Appears to be a match for this RA part - 1996 FORD F-150 5.8L V8 4WD Actuator Connector | RockAuto - not sure why they call it that.

Another possible match - More Information for MOTORCRAFT WPT1081 - I think RA's catalog is a bit cattywumpus. Same apparent part, under two categories, and in one of the categories is a completely different connector (square with more wires)....

Hey guys I did not forget about this thread.

Have not had time to get under the truck and disconnect the connector and take pictures to match up to a pigtail.

madpogue is right. The first connector shown is the whole control one. The one I am speaking on my manual transfer case is only a 2 wire set up.

"I think RA's catalog is a bit cattywumpus" - reminding me of eric the car guy videos with the cattywumpus remark!

Will let you know if I can track down that pigtail or not. Hoping so!
