Are your missing, broke or what? Do they come out to where you can rob some from a different wiring harness?

go to a pick a part and clip out a plug and remove the clips you need and splice them into you harness and put back in your plug easy fix or call some one like EZ harness or painless and see if you can get the clips from them

I am replacing the wiring harness. and the new harness did not come with these clips. I am assuming cause they are impossible to find lol. Word of advice don't buy cheap wire harness.

If worst comes to worst then I might, but I am replacing the harness due to all the splices.. Id rather not add to the issue on a new set up.

You might figure out the name brand and/or model # and let the rest of us know so we don't buy that junk. Hate to hear of this kind of ****. But work with it and make it work. You'll know next time.

This is exactly why when I see good harnesses I grab them. I've scrapped a couple of trucks and I kept all the wiring harnesses. Bummer they were all 81 and up harnesses though.
