HOW TO: Navigate Technical Parts Diagrams

thank you! great thread. subbed. congrats on being stickied

 

Looks like the lockdown has proved to be a productive time for you Randall

 

Adding to Randy's find

I use the frame number (it's on the sticker with your VIN and tire pressure). Mine is TRN220L-TRPDKA

Go to https://toyota-usa.epc-data.com/




Enter the frame number


This page comes up




Choose the parts group, I need the plastic nut that holds the kick panel by the drivers foot. So I pick Body and Interior. It's in fig 64-51, so click on that.




It's kinda small, so at the bottom left, click Open full size scheme


And there is the part number


I buy from OEM Parts Source, the prices are usually less then others and the shipping is about half of what McGeorge charges

This is $1.78 at McGeorge and $1.57 at OEM. Not a big deal, but McGeorge will charge $35 for shipping and OEM will charge $14 (that's a big deal).

 

Thanks for the addition to the thread! Do you mean the sticker inside the door jamb? I’ll have to give this a shot tomorrow versus using my normal sketchy Russian looking site.

 

Yep, on the door jamb

 

I just gave this a shot and it's so much easier to navigate than the site I've been using. I love the clickable links to stuff. Thanks for sharing.

 

One thing I'd like to add is you can add your trim code (and color code) to narrow it down even more. Takes this particular example from four options down to one.

 

Glad I could help
