I love it when a plan comes together. Glad you made it home.

Final report re this. The FLAPS were no help; the connector is an order
item for everyone (including the Chevy dealer I later found out.)
The wires were bitten off too close to the connectors for butts, but I was
able to scrape enough coating off the wires to get a drop of solder on the
wires and attach about a 4" pigtail onto each wire. That is, after I was
able to borrow a soldering iron, solder and tape from a neighbor down the
street. Twisted the pigtail onto the stub from the harness and made it
home in good shape. I've ordered a new "factory" connector with pigtails and
will install it in place of the jury-rigged unit that is now there.
I guess all's well that ends well, but it was damn disconcerting under the
circumstances.
