There used to be an online auto recycle broker where you could enter a discription of the auto part you need and recyclers would offer that part if they had it.  
Can someone direct me to it, if it still exists? I need a hitch harness bracket for my Ridgeline and I’m not having a lot of luck.  
Merci

I think [this](http://www.carsandpartsrequest.com/) is the one that I used. If not it’s very similar. But I have no idea if it still works.

If it is, I got about 5 responses for a fan resistor. About 1/4 the price of a new one.

Thanks, that one should work. The others that I tried asked for part numbers and had no place for a description.  
I’ll see if what I need is available. Ought to be a trashed Ridgeline out there somewhere.
