Default Broken connector on harness side of starter. Jeep JK 2015. Please help!!!

I had a friend change out my starter for me and in the process he broke the connector that comes from the harness to the starter(single yellow wire on the black connector). Does anybody know if I can just replace the connector without having to replace the whole harness????? Please help!! I've looked everywhere.

Should be a standard Chrysler plug . I would hit up a local auto wrecker and and see if you can find one that matches. How many wires on the plug ?

I've tried every wrecker within 150 miles and nobody has a Jeep JK. It's a one prong plug. I have even tried the dealership and seems like they are just out to make a shit ton load of money from me.

How is it broken? is the plastic clip broken or is the hole thing F-cked. Can you remove the wire metal end from the plastic molex part so that it can pushed over the alternator prong till you find a a replacement. You can an also cut the end of and use a small female spade connector like the use with car speakers not the wide one just use a pair of needle nose plier to make it a little tighter.might work as a bush fix

Yeah the clip on the female side is broken. I have it set up bush style at the moment, I'm just worried about getting the proper connection and water corroding the electrical pin. Sometimes, randomly the Jeep will not start without wiggling the wire while someone else cranks up the engine.
