Default 2005 Ram 3500 oxygen sensor wiring question

Hi all,

I managed to pull out the connecting wires on the wiring harness side of the left rear oxygen sensor connector on my 2005 Ram 3500 with the 5.7L hemi.
Any ideas what this connector is called, and where I can find at least one new pin connector? What would I call it to search a site like Mouser?
I might be able to just push the three free pins back into the connector, but at a minimum I'd need a new pin to replace the one that stayed in the connector itself.
Also, any guidance on how to determine which wire goes where? I'm digging through the 2006 (what I have) Ram FSM, but not having any luck.

Thanks


Connecter and the pulled free connector pins.




The little orange bushing on the right is rubber

Ok, so sometimes it helps to take the simple approach.
I was able to find what I needed by searching for '2005 Dodge oxygen sensor wiring connector' instead of trying to track down an actual connector part number.

However, if anyone knows the connector, pin, and bushing part names and/or numbers, I would still much appreciate it!

Thanks

For $25, these look like they should work.
Amazon Amazon

If you've got junkyards around, that might be a good source too. Looks like the same ones are being used across multiple models & manufacturers.

Dodgevity,

Thanks!
I actually ordered something very similar, assuming I could cannibalize the male connectors:
O2 Sensor Wire Harness
They're supposed to arrive today.

The connector pins, or blades, that pulled out the back and the one that stayed in the connector appear to be a pair of silver colored ones and a pair of gold colored ones. One silver one stayed with the connector and based on the way the wires that came out of the connector are hanging, it looks like the silver pair go together and the gold ones go together.
I figure I'll plug the pins into the replacement connector based on the assumption they two colors are paired together, but I'd hate to get it all together and have guessed wrong!
