    Greetings,

    I attempted to install a new wiper switch I bought from RockAuto and I ran into "a little problem" after trying to remove the pins from the pin housing. I read there is a small tool to de-pin the pins to avoid breaking them, but I messed up the housing in the process of trying to remove the pins with a small watch screwdriver. I'm posting this in an attempt to see where I could buy the connector housing since I already have the switch, which at this point I cannot install.

    I have attached a picture of the actual switch housing to help identify the item.

    Thank you.

    What does that plug into?
    Can you get us a picture of the front of the plug?

    That is the main connection from the combination switch.

    This just got very interesting.

    There should be a part number on the connector.

    That 431-04060 looks like a Toyota number
    But I think there is more number. The sticker is messed up so I can’t see the first part of the number.

    Good work on figuring it out.
    You can usually buy just the connector from Toyota. No wire or pins. I’d have to see in the Toyota connector manual when I get home.

    It would be nice if I could get a good look at the connector from the front.

    Is this your connector or a internet picture?

    We really need to see the front of the connector!!!

    Not knowing what year not much more we can do.

    I think there might be a few different plugs that plug into this connector!

    The pins look messed up after I tried to pull them without the proper tool.

    The whole part number is 84310-04060, as stated before. I'm trying to see if the housing comes separately without the switches.

    That's correct. Very expensive. I already bought the wiper switch portion without the connector housing, it has the pins exposed. I thought it was only plug and play but the pins need an special tool to get them out.

    So far that seems to be the case. Just the whole harness.
