Life or Death situation! Help!

I Need a part or my wife will take my life. I need a Tiny SRS connector located under the passenger B pillar connected to the seat belt mechanism. If I am not able to get this part from one of you guys i am going to have to buy the entire srs wire harness just for the $.30 piece. I have tried contacting several totaled evo owners and have asked to this part repeatedly. Someone help my inspections past due. If anyone can help I cant give much for it but I would greatly appreciate it. Heres the part I need

I need the connector and a few inches of the wire(yellow)

so, umm, what exactly is wrong with that plug? And how did it pull out? I really don't recommend splicing a new plug onto the existing harness. Any splicing/soldering on those wires messes with the resistance of the circuit, which can lead to a "failure to deploy" of the pre-tensioner in that seat belt.

Can you just remove the plug and hard-wire the connections together?

the extra wire is just a last resort i know possible repercussions of splicing the wires together. No actually there is a smaller plastic round piece that fits on the end of that connector and thats the actual piece that broke what this round piece does is from what i can see connect the two wires together inside the "socket" but its just easier to ask for the connector than all of that. Now If any gurus out there can tel me another way to make this work without that piece thats fine I just need the srs light to go off the seat belt is not in use ever.

I can look to see if I have a spare laying around at my work tomorrow, but I really doubt I'll have one.

Thanks! Also I don't know If this is a piece that can be found on a regular lancer not sure if it is evo specific

It does not. Probably for the better knowing me I would have it jerry rigged with the buckle in it at all times just out of frustration. Why what are you thinking?

Wrong. If done right soldering adds no more resistance. The only way this case would be true is if you have a cold soldier joint or if you just twist the wires together and they oxidize will it mess with continuity.

EDIT: how much for the entire harness? $100+?

The possibility ran through my head but if you look in the pic of where the connection plugs into is actually into the seat belt mech. theres no wires i can connect to .
