Default Ordering Ford connector replacements

If I know a connector number, is there a way to find the part number and order a replacement? Bonus if there is a way to identify a mating connector.

If your wondering, I’m trying to make a T in a set of wires without cutting anything original. I’m interested in connectors C160 or C135, part of the ABS system.

It would help if you posted the year of the vehicle. I pulled this for a 2016.

C135 is not serviced separately

Thanks tmcolegr. I have a 2015 XLT. As I suspected it looks like I’ll be on my own to find a mating connector (since the applications appear to all be cable-to-device connections), maybe I’ll try to contact the Molex representative I know through my work and see if the connector style looks familiar.

Look on the connectors for any clues as to manufacturer or part number. Good chance those are TE/Deutsch, not Molex.

You can sometimes find the connectors on ebay connected to whatever module they go to. Just have to email the seller and offer a price and see if they go for it. I have bought a few that way

The Motorcraft Wiring Pigtail book has connector part numbers. See attached...

Thanks for the reply’s guys. I might order the 2 pin pigtail and see if I could decipher any part numbers off it, although I may end up just splicing in my own set of connectors up near the engine bay somewhere, just need to find a good style to go with.
