Hello,
In replacing a friend's starter (2006) today, we found many damaged electrical connectors from a previous life - most missing retaining clips. One completely disintegrated, and I'm hoping to replace it prior to reassembly. Anyone have tips on where to find replacement connectors?
The highest priority one I'm looking for goes onto a component of the "air pump assembly w/ bracket," on 2006+ engines w/ VVTi. It's a 2-wire connector located under the intake plenum. See photos.
I could use several other connectors although none are as dire as the above. I've ordered a 82711-1E320 for the starter although others don't seem as easy to buy from Toyota. Thoughts?
I found these two outfits:
aeromotive.us
The few threads I've found have outdated info.
As an aside that many of you can relate to, I open the box for the new reman Denso starter and found it damaged in shipping. Dang. I decide to poke around under the truck and find the water pump leaking and radiator low. New starter and timing belt kit/goodies in the mail. Needless to say, my friend won't be using his Cruiser this weekend as planned...
Any tips on getting the above connector (and a source for others) will be appreciated.
Thank you, Erin
