Trying to find wire connector pieces.....

Hi all, im trying to find some pieces for certain wire connectors. I am looking for the square metal wire ends that push and snap into place in the wiring connectors for the radio head unit, and also for the steering wheel controller connector at the clock spring in an 06 f150 screw. For the radio pieces, i need the smaller of the 2 sizes.....

where can i find these parts? dealer possibly? are they available seperately or only as a whole connector?

the reason im doing this is that im trying to hook up the steering wheel controls in my truck which did not come stock with them.

Thanks !

If you are only looking for the pins for the connector, then use the motorcraft pigtail guides to find the same type

File save as :

If you search on audio in the PDF, you might find a few connectors, else troll the guides to find the correct one.

Drop Keith an email at www.southwestford.com, and ask him.

Also, there is another online dealer in WA, who might get the parts to you quicker, and he is a site sponsor
www.thinkpartsguy.com ( F150partsguy.com ).
He is in Bremerton, WA.

The only other option I can think of, is a bone yard. Any '04 + MY truck should do the trick. Cut the whole head off, as far as you can reach back in the dash, and once you get home, release the pins and reuse them ??
