can't find a replacement connector

I've looked at several auto store websites like o'reillys, autozone, and advance auto. I even looked on the EFI Connection website...still havent found what im looking for. I need the connector that goes onto the cooling fan switch that's located between the two rear spark plugs on the passenger side. This harness or whatever held it on broke so it does not stay on. not sure electrical tape is allowing it to have a good connection lol. anyone know of a place? thanks

Used to be available thru TPI Parts, a board sponsor. These pieces don't last long in their natural environment. Everytime I'm at the yards I check for good ones. Used my last good one a month or so ago.
