How do I repair/replace my front driverside turn signal connector?

Hey,

So I did a switch-back install a while ago and suddenly the driverside light went out. I looked at the connector and my resistor fell out after 3yrs and took the blue splice adaptor I had w/ it. Now the exposed wire is starting to rust. I covered the wire w/ liquid e-tape to stop future curosion but I want to replace that wire to prevent any future issues.

I can take off the bumper readily, but I'm having trouble finding out what the wire part number is, and how far back do I need to trace the wire to find where it connects to.

Can someone tell me what the part number is for the driver-side turn signal wire Is it 21, 22, or 23? Can I just get a new connector instead of the whole wire?

ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR (FR.) for 2012 Acura TL SEDAN

Thanks!

Hmm. Can't edit the post, but I'm thinking of just cutting off the existing adaptor and replacing it w/ https://www.amazon.com/iJDMTOY-Pre-W...ords=3157+plug

Of course using heat shrink wrap and waterproof filling like hot-glue or dielectric grease before sealing it w/ the heat shrink tubing.

The pig tail should include a length of wire but beware you have to purchase 10 of them for nearly $50 dollars.

I'd buy some generic wire and solder it to the old harness and connector. Wrap the connections up well and seal with heat shrink.
