Thats the Amphenol part number and once you have that, you should be able to search for the mate on the Amphenol web site. I wish I could help more but the pictures are too blurry for my eyes to make out the Amphenol part number! Good luck!

Update: Amphenol P/N is AMP 1-828 819-1; its a restricted part so Amp doesn't sell it or its mate or a datasheet to general public. The male portion *seems* to be same as that used on the blower motor resistor in old BMWs but seems to be intended for a PCB board mount. Perhaps you can buy a used/broken blower resistor and take it off? https://www.google.com/search?q=64118372775

Looks right from the thumbnail so I ordered one to try it. Will let you know!
What we need is the mate to this connector. Has anyone found a source for it yet? It seems that for those of us with OCD will be paying $220 for this connector when we buy the OEM brake controller/harness.
