I need some help as my issue is 95% almost done, I got my alternator rebuild as I was putting everything back on I notice the the harness plug wire are broken.
I took it apart and was able to removed the broken piece(the white strip) there is only three color coded White, Red, Yellow I think, the white strip color one was broken off when I took off the harness plug out. What I need is to find a harness plug to replace the old one which is broken or find the little silver connector so I can re-soldering it back in. I have been trying looking through the web but could not find it due to not knowing the name. Anyone that seen this stuff or knows what I was referring to please point me to the correct site or info.

Thx.

For any one else who sees this like I did, here's a solution that I used.

2000 4Runner: the plastic clip behind my alternator basically melted into itself and was physically impossible to remove. After the ordeal described below, there's was a layer of the clip left behind on the male plug on the alternator... So clearly the battle was lost before I even began

I removed the pivot and lock nut, used a pry bar to break the alternator loose, and then turned it on its side to better access the clip. Hour went by not even a wiggle. I unscrewed the 3 8mm nuts and one Philips screw to remove the backplate and cracked the clip free with a flathead.

Needless to say, the clip was done. My wires were in great condition though. So I called the dealer and picked up p/n 90980-11349. I used dikes to cut out all the sides of the old housing until I could see the tabs clearly that I needed to depress in order to free the wires. This video helps provide a visual

The wires popped into the new housing without issue and I was on my way! Hope this helps anyone else who I panicking and searching this forum for answers
