I have a question regarding the back-up switch. I needed to replace it because the wiring connectors had broken off right where they plug into the two female connections on the switch (one underneath the back drivers side section of engine). I would have spliced the wire and connectors if I would have any length of wire left. All I have is bare wire and the two female connections. I've been trying to locate the right size bullet connectors that could be hooked up to bare wire, but no luck. The back up switch is easy to locate and purchase, but I cannot locate the male connectors. Any advise?

Common bullet connectors work. Might have stretched it out a bit, don't remember.

@Str1974

I got the correct ones from Bel Metric. German made with double crimp on bare wire and insulated wire. I think they were 4mm.

These worked well for me; generic 5mm R/C motor / battery bullet connectors.

4.5mm is the correct size for these terminals.

I use regular SAE bullet connectors, I just cut them shorter, and crimp and solder them on.
