I am replacing the headlight switch and its connector in my '71 T/A.

As you can see in the pics below my original headlight switch connector has melted a bit over the years.

In researching replacing the connector, all of the repro pigtails have 5 brass terminal connectors inside. But as you can see the original has 6 terminal connectors.

I decided to just put new terminal connectors on the original wires and insert them into a new connector (last pic). So it will have all 6 terminals as it was born with.

Just curious why all of the reproduction connectors on the market have only 5 brass connectors and how that works in the car when the original has 6.

Interestingly, the factory wiring diagram shows all six (see below as well)

Thanks!
