Default Help!

Hey guys I was in the process of changing the alternator today and was having trouble getting the little connector with the one little red wire out of the alternator.. well lo and behold the wire broke.. I am unable to get the female connection out of the connector would I be able to find this connector at autozone or am I just screwed?

You are screwed, look on the internet and ebay for an alternator pigtail, or start the hunt at scrap yards that is a tiny bullet connector is almost impossible to repair. if there is still some wire coming out of the connector you can try to solder it.

Its fixable. I did the same thing the connector does come out just try harder. I got mine out and was able to fix it. If you've got time n money just buy a new one.
