    Need help, changed the serpentine belt today on my Taco and my son while pushing on the tensioner broke the end of the plug that goes into what I
    believe is the Thermostat housing at the end of the radiator hose in picture. Its the black plug that sits in front of the fan. See picture. I put black electrical tape and a zip tie on it but I'm wondering how hard it would be to replace the plug itself? Any help is appreciated. It still works but don't want it falling off.

    thank you guys, i will order and give it a shot, hopefully it is easy to do, thanks again. i am hoping it is just the plug part that pushes in, not sure if the receiver end is damaged?

    The part number is embossed on the connector. Maybe a fellow Taco owner with a '16 can confirm. Wouldn't want to have your Taco's connector fall apart while you check it.

    If you have a dealer near by drop in to the parts department give them your VIN and they can get you the correct plug.
