AC Clutch Switch Connector Issue

Sup guys. My 86 Trans Am has a bad AC clutch switch connector because of loose contact with the drier. It has 3 wires (2 green, 1 blue) running from the connector. The AC clutch comes on only when I wiggle the connector.

Everywhere I look, I can only find a 2 wire connector. Rockauto, local body shops, amazon etc. There's no part number i can reference on the actual connector so I'm going by part name only and all info I find indicates the 2 wire is for my car.

Do you guys think I can make the two wire work somehow?

OEM 3 wire on the car

The 2 wire I can only find



Thank you guys.

The 2 green wires go to the same blade. It's only a 2-pin connector.

Splice both greens to one of the wires on the replacement connector and splice the blue to the other. Doesn't matter which is which.

Thank you greatly! Helpful as always man!

And double thank you for your help with the high blower fan connector too. The connector and plug you linked worked out perfectly.
