The side locks are opposite. The Aptiv 12124388 has male on the sides yours are female. The holes on the main lock are different, yours would not lock on.

Yeah wont work because the male connectors on the Fan Module are normal size spade connectors. This new pigtail has narrower/smaller female connectors that don't allow. It looks likes like it would lock but cant get that far. Looks like I get get by with the pre-made one from EBAY and I will need to make one with 4.8mm female connectors inside. I think with this I could get it to work or come up with a weatherproof moldable silicone that I can seal my individual connectors in without 480 Metri-Pack..... More to come..

Talking with custom connector kits website support they turned me onto these 630 versions that look spot on. Not carried by many vendors and comes up as FORD connector a lot of times hehe.

Have you considered going to a GM parts department? They have a whole cabinet full of connectors.

You think they will have connectors for 11 year old cars lying around? I did talk with technician locally today and he didnt have anything that old. Maybe they switch up the connector over the years on make/models.

to be honest, I worked in 2 GM parts depts and we did not keep a lot of connectors hanging around

I've used this company a few times on our fleet vehicles, since not all manufacturers readily offer pigtails on a lot of stuff... kinda pricey, but I've had good luck... even if they don't have it listed, you can send them a picture and they haven't failed to find me something yet
