    I'm afraid it isn't that easy. You have to get them from an electrical supplier. You have to know what type of pins to buy and purchase them separately. @caribe makaira may be able to help you.

    Eh... That's not entirely true.

    Some times you can order pig tails from the dealer and either splice that in or if it's just the weather connection that's busted and not the pins or wires themselves you can depin and repin in the new plug.

    You can try Camel Back Toyota or similar but this is something I would actually recommend going into your local dealer for.

    Otherwise try to get pictures of the plug you need and sizes and try googling any and all identifying information molded into the plug.

    You may be able to find bare and empty connectors from electric suppliers like Phoenix mentioned.

    Good luck! :thumbsup:

    Interesting, I didn't know that they might sell "Pig-tails".

    I also thought about going to a junk yard and cutting what you need. You would then need to de-pin the connectors or splice them in.

    Yeah I have gone the junkyard route too as you got to know exactly what you're looking for when you go to the dealer, having the part number. (Which can be found on the plug sometimes should be XXXXX-XXXXX alpha numerical string of digits) I believe it's in a different part of Toyota's SnapOn EPC system and even the parts guys sometimes don't know where to find the stuff but you can get them from Toyota if you get an old salt behind the counter who really knows his stuff and actually wants to help rather than sling parts.

    A lot of the lazy or unknowledgeable guys will just say "yeah you got to buy the whole harness" which is B.S.
