Default Blower motor resistor pigtail

I can't find the correct pigtail harness that plugs into to the resistor box for the blower motor , I have 1998 limited 5.9 GC ZJ, it has the auto climate control so it's the 3 wire harness not the four , anyway does anyone know where to get one or the part# , I am wondering if the 99 Wj uses the same one also...any help is seriously appreciated

If someone knows if the 99 is the same I'd love to hear from yea...not sure how to go about a cross reference on the part from 98/99 resistor pigtail..

I narrowed it down to the missing pigtail ...somebody took it out or was in the middle of fixing it , they must of gave up on trying to find one .so anyways i dont have a pic but i think this is the plug (you cant see it that well its plugged in!) Same color wires etc etc

it looks like it but I see it looks like a two prong (2 wire pigtail) so I don't think so, but see that's another problem I have no idea what I am talking about either lol, another problem is the resistor in my jeep is impossible to see the plug or get the box out , anyway I think it should have three prongs , but it does look identical

yup that's the one the guy used in a video to fix a 99 gc , I'm wondering if it's possible jeep used the 98 resistor in the 99 gc , maybe I should get that and see if it plugs in if it does it should work???

Man that has same color wires and is 3 wire plug , jeep had to have used the same pigtail in the 98 , it was built at the end of the zj era and would explain why the part store can't find a 98 pigtail in the computer....what's the chance of it fitting a 98???

Thanks for doing some investigation for me huge help
