My drivers side front indicator works when hazards are on, but not when the lights are on. Looking at the connector it looks like one of the three holes is so badly corroded that I can't get it to come back to life. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy a replacement connector. The one that ties into the wiring harness.

Not in stock, but this sounds like what you are describing.

Thanks for the reply. What I'm looking for is this part: https://www.deloreango.com/us/3-pin-female-connector.html

I just received a box of parts from DeloreanGo. So I'll add this to my next order if I need more parts.

Even better. Didn't know they sold just that connector.

These little things are getting harder and harder to find new especially with the covid times. It might be possible to find just the pins with some searching for lucas electrical pin connector just need to know the size. If you're not concerned with originality I would just go with weatherproof connectors and be done with it.

Cut them off and purchase some better weatherproof connectors (I use Deutsch).

I'm not worried about originality. Is this the type you're talking about? https://www.amazon.com/Deutsch-3-pin-Connector-housing-Terminals/dp/B00B4FAU7S

Those should work just fine but I would get the ones with the pigtail extensions. That way your not leaving it to short to work with. It's all about personal preference as long as you get it for the right gauge wire.

I noticed the ones with pigtails attached so I ordered a few. Thanks for the recommendations.

Those are them, or Ampseal connectors (they take the same terminals and pins).

I much prefer the solid barrel terminals but they require a special crimp tool (although there is a cheap $30 one on Amazon that I use and it is just fine).
