OK, I consider myself a home mechanic. I have done everything from engine swaps, to head gaskets, clutches and timing belts in my driveway in various vehicles (mostly Japanese). But what the *@#%! is up with these #%!@#%&^ing Toyota electrical connectors? It's like they were designed by a Chinese puzzle designer. Or maybe they're just all so old they don't work anymore. I'm doing a major maintenance overhaul right now, and I never figured the hardest part of re-sealing the upper oil pan would be disconnecting a ******* electrical plug.
So the idea here is for folks with some good LC know-how to post up the tricks, tools, and techniques they use for the various electrical connectors (starter, oil level, etc). Like for instance, when you look at a connector, can you get an idea of which tabs to push, pull or lift? I sure as fawk can't. There are not enough curse words in the English language to convey my frustration with these little bits of plastic.
Please share your wisdom.
