Default Alternator pigtail, 99 Formula

Yesterday I changed my alternator at a friends house while doing the stereo system. I got about 1/2 way home at 10pm last night and my lights started dimming. 3/4 home and the car died. Wife had to come rescue me.

Once I got to look at the old alternator, I realized there was a 4 wire connector with a single teeny piece of broken wire hanging off it. I never saw it because I was under the car and the connector was on top. UGH...

Now the problem is, the piece of wire hanging off of the connector is too damn short to solder anything to and I can't figure out how to get the pin out.

I cannot find this pigtail ANYWHERE yet... Autozone, Autobarn and 4 other autoparts stores have said, "good luck finding that" in response.

Anyone know where I can get one?

TIA

This same thing happened to me, did anything actually break or did the wire just pull out of the connector?
