Thanks again, John. All is now well. I was going to do an off-color, satirical pictorial, but then I opened a bottle of wine. Let's just say she, or, in this case, he, has a renewed vigor.

Jim, the heated connector is 1078690324 and the nozzle (including the rubber grommet) is 1078600147. Dealership parts counter had both in stock. The old connector was shredded and came a part in pieces. Getting the old nozzle out was the tricky part. I ended up using wire cutting pliers to break off the back end of it. Once I had the whole thing out, the new parts snapped together and plugged into the existing wiring. Adjusted the aim of the jets with a sewing needle. Together the parts should be about 25,00 in your money.
