I recently replaced the blower motor on my 1.4 fiesta diesel, 56 reg, and while I was doing so I managed to pull the wire out of the back of the small black push in connector on the rear of the passenger airbag. The tiny pin/split pin connectors broke and now I can’t get the wires back in the plug and the airbag light is on on the dash. 

 

Ive been to everywhere I can think of for a replacement connector, even looked on ford partsford but no luck...

 

Can anyone advise how to obtain new crimp connectors with that are pin/split pin end that are that narrow? Can not find them.... Also not really sure what they are called hah

 

attached pics of the broken off end of the connector, and the ouch in plastic connector they go into before then being clipped in to back of airbag
