Default Question about front bumper wiring harness...

OK, so there are two electrical connections that need to be undone when taking the front bumper off. One is very much like the connector for the headlights, and the other is smaller and only has two connecting pins. I'm guessing this latter connector is for the horn?

When I did my USP front I discovered that this connector had been destroyed by a previous technician, and the only thing holding it together was electrical tape! I need to ID the connector so I can order a replacement.

Thanks!

Default You plan on R&R'n the front bumper many times?

Get some ordinary 12v connectors from Radio Shack, and crimp'm onto wires, and connect the 2 wires, and be done with it! ;O)

Default I suppose that could work...

Although I would prefer to be able to disconnect and re-connect those wires whenever I have the bumper off (which has been happening frequently lately!).

Default I'm OK with that...

How much could it be?!

I don't like to do things on the cheap just because its cheap. I'd like to repair it properly, so if spending $20 on a connector is what it takes then so be it!

I'd still like to find the punk *** technician that broke it in the first place then "repaired" it with electrical tape.

So is this the horn connector? Seems like it would be based on so few pins.
