    Spent some quality time under the Tacoma today putting in the new plug, tight quarters to splice wires. I used waterproof connectors with low heat solder. I got to the last wire and instead of 8 the new connector had 7. I was able to remove the good wire from the old connector and was happy when the codes cleared. The connector I got from Amazon did not have the rubber seal like the old one so I fill it with dielectric and going to put some shrink tubing over it.

    You should be able to take the connector apart and rebuild it. I’ve done it a few times on a GM product


    And you did. Nice
