Hello, I'm trying to find this RED PLUG, but there are MANY styles out there so I cannot identify by name such as one model that is called an XT-90 (THIS IS NOT THAT). There are so many I think I'll never find it scrolling through pictures. Can any electricians identify it so I can buy one to make my needed jump plug?

Extra pics attached in case you want more info.

This is a jump wire for a thermostat that will ONLY accept the plug and not just a wire into the receptor plug (female with pins). Honeywell has possibly the WORST customer service ever and cannot sell me a replacement or tell me what it is called. They won't even try to find out about their own product. It was dropped and lost and thus they say I must buy another $150 product to "fix" it. I can't find any broken units on ebay that well with the plate that have the plug either. Honeywell Thermostat RTH 9580 or 9585...same thing.

Whilst this may be the age of instantaneous communication, sometimes a little patience is required. Please do not post the same question more than once (even if you are just linking to this thread).
 
So, it looks like it may be a surface mount connector. It may be easier (and less costly as some of the tooling for crimping connectors like this can be expensive) to remove the connector from the PCB and solder a link wire across the connections. It goes without saying the wire used should be sized according to the load it will carry and it should be fully isolated whilst doing this... but if it was me... that's what I'd be doing.
