Default Connector to power windows '97

4x4 1997 Cherokee. Having power window issues (passanger switches work intermittently).

Tracked this down to finicky wire at drivers power window controls. Wiggling the wires in the connector to the door cause it to work/not work.

My question is: how to locate this piece? This is the plastic bit that plugs the wires into the door itself.

I tried a local yard but no luck, their cherokee was manual windows.

I have tried searching online, but I don't think I'm using the right terms or something....

Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

Here's what I've found so far.

If I plug in the bottom larger connector, and then plug in the smaller (8 pin) connector above, I can jiggle around the upper one, and the small green lights will go on and off intermittently on the power window controller (the four way adjuster), and on the passenger door windows controls.

Any ideas where to look for that issue? Is it in the switch module itself?
