I replaced my rear window supports today (those hydraulic supports for the pop-up window hatch) on my '94 Blazer, which work great, but in the process of replacing them I discovered a problem. My rear window has defogging capability, and the wires that supply the power for the defogger connect to terminals on the hydraulic supports. My problem is that (through fatigue) one of the wires has broken away from the plastic lead which connects to the terminal on the support.
My question is if there is such a part, a plastic lead with some wire already connected, that I could splice into the prexisting wire. Or does the fix look to be more complicated than that? I know this is an incredibly specific problem, but maybe someone out there has had it before.
Thanks.

you could probably go to the junk yard and get one. probably the same connector for most cars.
if its the connector on the wire , you might look at radio shack and see if they have terminals that would work.

Where did you get your supports? If you got em at Autozone your looking at problems in a couple of months. Poor welds. I have had mine on for 8 months and the one side broke already where the rear defogger connects and its a warranty item. I have the same problem with the connector as you Im not gonna worry about it for awhile.
