Looking for a connector

I need a connector that I can't find in the wiring pdf from camrystuff.com.

It's the male companion to this connector:


This is the one for the high mounted stop light. It's also the same connector used for a couple of the bulbs for the rear lights in the trunk lid.

What I'm looking for is the male one. In my car, it connects to the "high mounted" stop light connector and leads to the spoiler LED bar.

The connector has "11803 A12" written on it.

90980-11803 does not exist. And it is NOT the A12 connector. So I'm not sure why it says any of this.

I don't expect to receive any helpful assistance from the parts guy(s) at the dealership. I've normally been able to find every connector I needed, but I'm sort of stumped here.

Is this the socket the lamp plugs into, one of the wiring connectors, or a connector the wiring plugs into?

Any reason you just didn't grab one at the salvage yard? Getting individual connectors tends to be a bit difficult y'know.

God I'm so stupid. I meant to say I need the MALE one, not the female. The female is the one in the picture. ...corrected original post.

I'll take a picture of the connector I'm talking about.

I don't much have time to visit junkyard after junkyard searching for a camry with a spoiler. The spoiler is the only reason the connector was necessary in the vehicle.

This is the connector I need:





This is the cable I've made:



I need that connector to go onto this end:



The end I need the connector for will attach to the car's harness. Another end will go the new high mounted stop light I'm putting in. And the third end goes to the existing cable for the spoiler.

Yes, I could have just spliced into the car's harness and accomplished the same task. But if I screw up there... that's that. Can't really undo it. So I like to create these little cables instead.

The end with no connector actually works without a connector. It holds in pretty well. But a connector would look much nicer.

It's actually not, as long as you have the part number... which I can't find.

I've ordered a handful of connectors I need to replace around my car. One I did today... for the alternator. That thing has been broken for years now. Nice to finally have a fresh connector there.

If that Camry has a spoiler with an LED light... chances are that connector will be there. If it doesn't, I don't think there's one like it anywhere else in the vehicle. But hey, if you do happen to come across it, that would be great!
