Have you taken a good picture of the harness and tried some of the salvage yards in the larger metropolitan areas? There are a crap load of jeeps up here in DFW and I'd think dozens of them are sitting in a salvage yard with the harness you need. If you were able to show a good pic and explain exactly what you needed, I'd think of the yards would have it, be able to cut one off with a foot or so of wiring, and mail it to you. If they wouldn't mail it, someone in that local area might be willing to pick it up and mail it to you. If you could find one in the Fort Worth area I would get it and ship it to you.

Ampheonol p/n
the starter solenoid connector p/n is AMP 2098198-5. the dodge dealer parts guys do not know how to breakdown a harness into its components. I ordered mine from Mouser Electronics. their p/n is Mouser #:571-2098198-5

Was it easy to cut the old piece off and splice the new one on? I also just broke my connector and order the piece from Mouser. I am hoping I can just pull the old connector off and put the new one on with no issues.

Tti
New add to old post, but hope others find this as useful as I did. I had the lock release tab on my plug socket break off. I found the part with TTI. I called them and you can order as few as 2 and they offer even prior air freight. Very helpful when I called. Here’s a link.

Installation
Just received the new plug. Ordered it 2 days ago. Not bad! To install, I used an oscillating plunge cutting tool and carefully cut down through both sides of the old plug and peeled it back. The internal wire fitting locks inside the plug so you can’t pull it out. Once I peeled it all back down to the center wire and fitting, you simply insert it into the new plug. It will click and lock in. Then it plus back onto the starter. Took about 10 minutes. Good luck.
