Need help - Broken TSS connector - Toyota 4Runner Forum

TexasEagle · 07-21-2021, 02:31 PM

Hey folks, I need some help from the group here. I didn't leave enough clearance between the connector that goes into the TSS sensor on the grill and my winch, and the connector is now broken. As it is just one end of a 1' pigtail harness, I thought it'd be easy to replace. According to my local dealer parts department, they do not sell that separately, and I'd have to buy the $3,400 full harness to get that. !$#%!

So, I'm looking to see if anyone has any ideas on where to get just this short harness bit for a reasonable price, or knows of anyone who can replace / rebuild the connector.

Thanks,
Justin

Find a new dealer that is competent and not full of BS. Here’s the part number for the harness. It’s the full small extension.

88214-35070

Should be less that $40 out the door.

Not enough wire to solder back together?

It's hard to tell from the pic, one of the wires may be a bit chewed up, but the internal wiring doesn't look that bad. I wonder if any of it's actually broken. This guy might be able to get away with some nonconductive sealant and some glue to put the enclosure back together.

But for $16, I'd just buy a new one. 2020-2021 Toyota 4Runner Wire 88214-35070 | Boch Toyota South
