Where to obtain female plugs to antenna relay
After much consternation I finally located the Power Antenna Relay on my '87 convertible. What I did find is a relay that has shorted out (therefore need a new relay) but also the C1/C2 female connector plugs to the relay have major issues which could be the reason my relay is dead. Several of the female sockets on each plug have disintegrated from moisture. Does anyone have a suggestion of a resource to buy wiring plug harnesses for an '87?

The terminals for the outers (4) 12110844 and the centers (2) 12015860 you can buy I believe singularly from here:

Just enter the part numbers in the search block. Their shipping isn't terrible. I haven't bought from them in a very long while, it's not where I normally buy.
If you can find a GM parts guy that understands terminals you can be helped at most dealers. Not all understand them. You could take those same part numbers to the dealer and just ask.

Thanks. I will recheck the connectors tomorrow to see if the connectors are ok and its just the terminals themselves. Also will depend on whether I can get the terminals out of the connector block without destroying it. I have to open my access area better to get at these two connectors. My experience with local GM parts/maintenance has not been keen. If the connectors are in need of replacement I'll let you know.
