I have a beacon and horn unit from , i think, an ambulance. I have the horn and light part and the controller part,
What i need is parts to connect controller to the noise and light show.
The wires from both parts currently dead end in a 7 pin plus center pin male connector.

Please look at the pictures. As i get older my language skills diminish

What I would like to locate is 2 female 7 pin connectors. I have an accessory plug to pigtail in power Any ideas on locating the female connectors ? what is the proper name of these things.Thingamajig doesn't get you very far in a google search

Look carefully on the plug that you have. There should be a mil-std number (MSxxxx.xx....) It will probably end with the letter "P" for pins. Google the same number but substitute "S" for the P. (S for Socket)
