I ordered the Arduino Nano board for $5.88 shipped. ATMEGA328 Compatible Nano V3 Improved Version Board with USB Cable for Arduino | eBay

I have put all of the components in a cart on Mouser and am now trying to get the connectors.

Does anyone know the specifics of these automotive crimp-on connectors so that they fit between the harness and the switch?

Thanks, John

Make sure you get the correct ones for the wire gauge you are using.
IIRC, I used red ones. The package tells you what gauge wire will fit

I used 16 gauge, so I guess I used blue terminals
