I did the same thing on mine. I was able to get one from GM for $15 I believe it was the same as the MAF power relay (can't be 100% tho) They had a book I matched up the picture. If no luck there, maybe a junkyard if you can find a good one. Last resort spade connectors Solidered not crimped, with insulation covering the outside of the spade (so they don't touch together).

P.S Bosch makes a 30A relay kit with a connector included. Like $8.00 at an import parts store here in AZ. Just another thought.

You might want to check he wiring under the relay box, it may have a decayed wiring therefore causing the high amps that melted your relay

Standard Motor Products jas a nearly complete line of electrical connectors, sockets, and plugs for almost every domestic model vehicle. They have some of the most obscure, one-off connectors you might ever see. Try finding the connector for the optional lighted rear heater switch on an old Safari van somewhere else.

GM also has a catalog of Delphi and Yazaki connectors used on their vehicles, and may be able to identify the socket.

Of course, you probably won't find these at any of the common chain stores that sell oil, blue headlights, and stickers. You'll have to go to a real auto parts store. And don't worry about that squealing noise you hear in the background in lieu of fourteen stereos playing different hip-hop stations. It's probably only a boring bar in their machine shop or somthing else indicating that REAL work is being done there. You'll get used to it.
