Default Gear selector continued

I asked a couple of days ago about this:
The gear indicator on my 2006 Sportsman 450 is not showing up. So I can't get into the diagnostic mode. Where is the switch on my atv?

old polaris tech's answer directed me to the problem. However it is more than just a bad switch. The connector that that plugs into the switch evidently was caught by something while riding (I'm guessing) and a couple of wires were pulled out of the connector. I have attached a picture. Is there any where that I can get this female end with pigtails without buying the entire wiring harness? I'm a pretty good wire splicer and solderer.

Thanks again,
Do have an idea on which socket contact should be used for my problem?

24-20 AWG wire or 20-16 AWG wire

I've looked at the wire but couldn't see any reference.

If you have an old pair of wire strippers just match the size of one of the stripper cut out to your wire size. Has the wire size on the stripper. If I was to guess it'd be 24-20.

A followup on what was done to take care of my problem. First, I would like to thank "old polaris tech" for the information he provided which directed me to what I need.

After looking where he directed me I went further in different searches and found just the thing.
I found it here Home » Shop » GM / Delphi » GM Delphi / Packard - 6 way flat metripack 150.2 connector Pigtail for tps, black

It's a pigtail of the correct connector assembly. No need for me to assemble terminals, which was a big relief. I could of did it but for the price it was a no brainier.

What a great site you all have here!
