Pic related, the orange wire is the electrical supply to my radiator fan. I'd like to just buy a new coupler and be done with it if possible, since the wire is destroyed pretty close to the coupler and I'm not confident that I can splice a new one in. What's the technical term for it? Is it something I can just go purchase at Napa?

Thanks. Can't find the right pigtail anywhere though. The red and orange wires seem to just loop through the pigtail though; I'm wondering if I can just short them and not worry about it. Looks like it's to the junkyard if that won't work.

I'd like to meet the man who decided that mechanical fans were too simple.
