Default Where can I get electrical connectors?

Are these connectors universal among other toyota/lexus?? I need connectors for VVTI actuators, and for the front parking sensors in front behind the bumper.

Check the dealer or go to a junk yard and see if they will let you cut some plugs.

The GSEs usually don't go to the normal junkyards. People buy them and part them out for a profit

The vvti is pretty generic with Toyota/lexus so yes a plug from a camry rav4 or avalon should work. Worst case if you cant find them, hardwire them. Buy some spade connectors and slip them on.

Junkyards will sell you plugs, it depends if you know someone or not. But look up on car-parts.com to find a yard with GS's drive over there ask the clerk, if he doesnt take care of you go to the side parts pullers and slip the guy a a few $$

The connectors and repair wires with terminals can be had from your local dealer. If you just need the plastic connector housing, they're cheap (usually about $3-8). The wires can sometimes be more expensive, but are often not needed.

I would recommend against just buying some spade connectors. It's not worth it.

I agree w/ Ibidu1, when going to the junk yard always slip the part puller guys some cash. They remember & will go out of their way when they see u.

Check aliexpress. There are many sellers carrying OEM style connectors for very cheap. Shipping will take a long time but they have almost every type of connector for every make and model. Just specify the number of pins and it should turn up.

Not sure what the injector connector looks like but that might work for you.
