Rear Window Defroster Missing Wire Harness

I have an 86 EB with the defroster switch and it illuminates when the lights are on but it is missing the four-wire connector that plugs into the back of the switch, and it’s also missing the wire that connects to the harness behind the rear left taillights and through the tailgate to the rear glass. Basically, everything that makes it work.

So I’m trying to rebuild/recreate it.

Can someone take a photo of their 80-86 rear window defroster connector under the dash of your Bronco, or provide details about where the wire connects to?

Would anyone have the harness part number? The ‘94 Master Parts Catalog doesn’t show it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
