97 F250 Taillight Harness Plug Needed

While working on replacing the rear fuel tank on my truck today, I noticed a horrible squirrels nest of wires on the taillight wiring harness at the driver's side at the back corner of the bed.

The plug in question is on the downstream side of the taillight converter that someone has put in the truck for trailer lights. There are several of the wires cut off almost to the plug, twisted up, and left alone. And even on that is soldered together, but exposed. I can’t seem to find the harness or plug with wires anywhere though. I can grab a picture in the morning when I get home from work if that would help

View from underneath... what a mess!

You can tell the plug has melted some... probably lucky this hasn’t caught the truck on fire yet.

Thanks! I normally do try to read the sticky’s, but completely missed that one. Looks like they used that plug for lots of stuff over the years, so it should be an easy $40 fix
