I have 4 broken connectors. I just ordered the new replacements from EBay. Can’t wait to get them in and change them. Looks easier than replacing the whole harness and way cheaper too! Thank you for this!!!
Fantastic! I've been hunting for a direct, clear, complete demonstration for replacing these #$%^ connectors for an embarrassingly long time. Every car I've worked on has this problem and nearly all connectors on the toyotas seem to have a similar locking/pin release strategy. So it's been super helpful for the immediate problem (ignition coils), but shed some light on my approach with all the old connectors in by 26 year old FJ80 (fuel injector and headlight connectors come to mind). Everyone that says it's easy but can't really show how has usually used a vice grip to crack the old connector apart like a walnut. Yeah, small plastic bits everywhere. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for you instructional video. It was very helpful that I was able to replace my broken connectors. The dealers wants $900 for a new set of wire harness. It costs $40 for a set of 4 connectors at my local dealership.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I swapped out four of these ignition coil connector housings today on my 2009 Toyota Camry, and your video was a great help and time saver!
Fantastic video showing exactly what needs to be done to fix the connector! I changing out the plugs on an '11 Camry when the connector broke. I was hoping the while harness didn't need to be changed out and thankfully each connector can be replaced. Thanks again!
thanks for the detailed video! I was working on my gf's car and yup, the tabs broke off. I got zip ties holding them in place until the new ones come in lol.
Thank you! My brother recently replaced my spark plugs and like your car the little pieces just came off bc they are so old. He was wondering how hard it was to replace these. Very good video!
Fantastic video! Mine just broke off trying to check the spark plugs as I just purchased this car and my immediate thought was... how do I replace these... so now I know and I really appreciate the video... very well done!
My 2007 Sienna ignition connectors all are broken to bits too! I used electrical tape to wrap around it and zipped tie it for now. I will buy new connector and try to see if I can replace it permanently :). Thanks for showing us the video.
Very helpful. Other videos show splicing but I don't want to cut wires. Just bought a 2009 lexus that has a few busted connectors. Now I can replace them in a professional manner. Thank you.
Thanks so much for making this! I have an old 2006 Toyota Camry and the oil starting leaking bad from the valve gasket. I replaced the valve gasket cover seal and took it out the next day and it was still leaking.. I took it back off last night to see if the seal slipped out when I put it back on the other day and the seal had broke. I put some RTX glue/cement stuff in the slot where the seal goes and put it all back on and back together. Once I went to plug those spark plug wires in all the dang black plastic around the terminals just turned to dust and just broke apart everywhere.. went to go take it to work this morning to see if it was working after doing all that last night and it wouldn’t start. It was clicking fast so I grabbed my portable battery jumper and that atleast started the car. But I know the issue has got to be those terminal connectors are not sitting right in that plug anymore cause the black part around them has broken off.. This is literally the only video or anything online that explains this process and how to fix it without replacing the entire wire harness set.. it’s like $60 for the wire harness kit and more time to replace versus just replacing the terminal connectors. Thanks so much for making this!!! It’ll be cheaper AND faster for me to fix 😊
Anywhere I can buy those? Most places I've seen online sell the entire assembly which includes the wires. I don't need the wires. Mine are still good, just need the connector clips
Engine light just came on in my 09 Camry (2.4L 135k mi), Innova 5210 says cyclinder 2 misfires, replaced all 4 spark plugs and ignition coils and noticed these connectors were cracked and broken and what not, I’m thinkin there’s my problem.. gonna try this, see if it helps.. forgot to apply dielectric grease too so that can also be the problem 😬
car not starting after wrong connection of wires for 3rd coil ..it vapes and really hot on that conector when try to start. car. cracks but not start coil replaced but still not starting. Do you think it caused a short and what could be affected now. All frustrated only car in family of 6
@@chriseckert08 Thanks for that, after searching a couple of dealers I finally found the two connector clips from one Toyota stealership. $12 a pop plus tax.
my mechanic replaced spark plugs a few months ago. I just replaced coils. there is a static sound coming from the top of the engine. anyone have thoughts?
@@farringbyers8576 If you pull on the wire and it does not come out then good. If you pull on the wire and it slides out, it never got engage push in further
Hope you are doing well and just want you to know your video is still helping people in 2024. Just saved me $400! Thank you and happy new year!

I changed the spark plugs in my 2007 Toyota Camry today. All four tabs snapped off . Thank you !

Thank you so much! The local shop quoted me at $600 for this job. I watched this video and only spent $10 for the parts.
Anival Antonio Negron so glad you were able to find it helpful and save a TON of money!
@@chriseckert08 thank you I feel like I owe you. I did like the video as you can possibly see
Just the video I needed. I would advise to leave the actual ignition coil installed to prevent any debris from falling into the block though.
All this happened to me when I gave my Camry a tune-up. I was thinking about doing it right and here is a perfect video showing me how to do it. Yay!
Thank you so much for this video man. I thought that I'd have to splice the wires
Fantastic. I need to this on our 2004 Toyota Sienna with 514,000 km’s. This video was very timely. Thank you.
Thank you!! Unfortunately here in Germany had been no similar diy video for this problem. Fortunately I found your absolut helpful clip. Well done!
I did this fix tonight after watching your video and a couple others.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I swapped out four of these ignition coil connector housings today on my 2009 Toyota Camry, and your video was a great help and time saver!
Do all the connectors goes with the same color on the camry 09 I’m having this issue

What a great vid. Mine broke today and I have them taped in until I can get the connectors from Amazon.
thanks for the detailed video! I was working on my gf's car and yup, the tabs broke off. I got zip ties holding them in place until the new ones come in lol.
Much appreciated video. Some was obscured, which is understandable with no camera operator, but still very helpful.

Fantastic video! Mine just broke off trying to check the spark plugs as I just purchased this car and my immediate thought was... how do I replace these... so now I know and I really appreciate the video... very well done!
SUPER!!! Mine just turned to dust about an hour ago and I thought I would be splicing wires... Thanks! All I gotta do now is get some connectors.

Thank you so much for this information. I find this very helpful for my repair. I definitely can proceed with confidence.
Thank you! You've made an excellent, easy to understand, DIY video. On my 2007 Solara V6 I replaced the front 3 in about 20 minutes.
Thanks man!! I was wounding if there was a video out there !! And your was the first one i found!!
Thanks for making this video. Hopefully I do a good job this weekend on the 2007 camry.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
... VERY GOOD INSTRUCTIVE DEMONSTRATION ... GOOD CAMERA WORK, TOO ...
Thank you for the great video. I just replaced the connectors on my Camry exactly how you did it in your video.
Very helpful and thanks for sharing.
So glad the video was able to help you! Hopefully you didn't spend as long as I did trying to figure it out lol
It took me about 5 minutes for each connector.
Thanks so much! Very helpful. Much easier than splicing the wires :)
Thanks so much Chris I have a 2005 Toyota Avalon & replaced 2 connectors thanks to your video it made it so easy , Much appreciated 👍
EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks so much sir!
Been searching awhile how to do this. Came across this awesome video. Well put together and very informative. Thanks for the video. Awesome!

Thank you! Exactly the video i was looking for, havent done it yet but it looks simple enough.
Most dealers will sell you the harness. Thanks for the video.
Definitely helpful. I needed this information. Thank u for this great video. Totally helpful
Great video, I need to find the connectors now to replace mine.
Thanks! I hope it helps make your job easier! Have you checked your local dealer? I got mine cheap there
Thanks a lot, I was changing the gasket as well and the connectors just fell apart.
Great video. Can you share the part number from your dealer's receipt please.
Anywhere I can buy those? Most places I've seen online sell the entire assembly which includes the wires. I don't need the wires. Mine are still good, just need the connector clips
Great video. Got the same problem on my 2009 Scion tc.
Very clear & detailed information, thank you
Where to buy it the connector only? Autoparts only have the connector with the wires attached ($60+ each). Thank you much!
Thank you. It's just what I needed.
Where did you buy the connectors ? Thanks
Thank you. This was a huge help.
Engine light just came on in my 09 Camry (2.4L 135k mi), Innova 5210 says cyclinder 2 misfires, replaced all 4 spark plugs and ignition coils and noticed these connectors were cracked and broken and what not, I’m thinkin there’s my problem.. gonna try this, see if it helps.. forgot to apply dielectric grease too so that can also be the problem 😬
Did it work
Thank you for the instruction. Where do I have ignition coil connector for Camry 2007? Could you send me a link?
Thanks and great video
I have 3 broken conectors in my camry
Thanks! Helped a bunch.
Great video very well explained
This helped me so much. Thank you.
thanks your sharing and my SCION TC 2006. especially Coil Connector Replacement, thanks again
Thank so much for the video we'll explained
Thank you for making this my friend, super helpful!!
Thank you for this 🙏 life saver
do you need a specific tool in order to break the tabs to do the replacement?
I dont remember the color order of the connectors for 2004 Toyota Camry. Help anyone? Where can I find what it would look like in order?
My thoughts would be to see if you can find a Haynes manual for your model (or just an excerpt from one online)
Do I need to disconnect the battery for this?
Thanks for your sharing and tips! Make more videos bro👍👍
Does this also work for fuel injector connectors?
Do you have to disconnect battery before attempting this on the vehicle? I have a Toyota.
I recently broke just the tab on 2 of mine, is it a huge issue if I put off fixing it for a few weeks ?
Definitely helpful, appreciate the video.
car not starting after wrong connection of wires for 3rd coil ..it vapes and really hot on that conector when try to start. car. cracks but not start coil replaced but still not starting. Do you think it caused a short and what could be affected now. All frustrated only car in family of 6
So perfect I had the same problem.
Where did you get the pure clips? I can only seem to find the ones with the cables.
Try your local dealership. They sell just the clips w/o the wires.
@@chriseckert08 Thanks for that, after searching a couple of dealers I finally found the two connector clips from one Toyota stealership. $12 a pop plus tax.
Are these connectors distinguished by USA or Japan like the coils cause I just made that mistake and now I've got to order japan based coils?
Thank you! Extremely helpful!!!!!
Where did u buy them, can get it on line
my mechanic replaced spark plugs a few months ago. I just replaced coils. there is a static sound coming from the top of the engine. anyone have thoughts?
Very helpful video, thank you
Excellent! Thank you!
I am go into have to replace all six where did you get the new connector?
Do you have to here the clock to know they are connected properly? Mine did not click like yours did.
I meant to say click!
@@farringbyers8576 If you pull on the wire and it does not come out then good. If you pull on the wire and it slides out, it never got engage push in further
Thank you for doing this video. Just what l need to change mine. I also subscribed.
Thank you so much. This helped me 100%
You should really put the new coil packs in first, and then break the harness so you can ensure nothing falls into the cylinder.
Great video. Great explanation.
Great job. God bless you. Thank you.
thanks i just did mine, saves me
at least a lot of manhours.
Awesome work. Thanks
Thank you bro that helped a lot
My dealer said I'll have to order the wire loom. What's the part number of the connector?
Do you have to disconnect the battery?
Please do! Always disconnect the battery when working with electrical system or in the engine. Better safe than sorry!
2023 thank you for the video
Great video much appreciated
Thankyou. U save me from mechanic

Great man, You are awesome!
