Anyone know where I can get the connection that would allow me to actually plug this into that port?

My wiring keeps shaking loose and falling off the pins.

I assume you've tightened up the crimps a few times? Mine went on very stiff and have stayed put for nearly 20k miles.

My wiring keeps shaking loose and falling off the pins.
Instead of using the positive pin, I used a $5 fuse tap which is a very secure connection. I only have to worry about the black wire coming loose, but it hasn't come loose at all for the 6,000 miles I've had it wired. Use a flattened molex connector, that is slightly too flattened to fit over the pin, so that when you force it over the pin, it is squeezing the pin tight. Then I taped down the wire so that pulling on the wire would hopefully not pull on the molex connector.

I wrote instructions about using a fuse tap here:
