Currently I am still working on my non-starting '91 Pickup 22RE and an looking for a source for the electrical connector that plugs into the starter. Not the main cable to the battery, the one that goes to the switch is the one. I'm replacing some wiring and want to use a fresh one. I should have called the dealer I guess but they are closed tonight. Does anyone know what it's called and a good source for them? Thanks. |
On almost all of mine there is just a insulated female spade connector .
The older solenoids take the .250 width connectors The newer solenoids take the .187 width connectors If my brain remembers correct The ones on the wiring harness get old and brittle and the plastic just crumbles |
Yes sir. Female spade. I like the ones with the plastic cover around them but some folks don't. Either kind will work fine so long as it's the correct width like stated above. I believe my 89 took the smaller one. Make sure it fits nice and tight. If it doesn't, you can give it a little squeeze with some pliers before you put it on and that'll do it.

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I am familiar with spade connectors but I am hoping to find the proper plug as in the original harness. It would seal a little better and be a little more secure.
Sorry for the bad picture, but what I am looking for is the blurry brown rectangular thing in the middle of this image. (It is unplugged here.) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...a0492bc081.jpg |
I know all to well what you have.
You might be able to get the number off the connector . There is or was a Toyota connector post floating around . Then good chance that connector is obsolete .. I know what works for me but good luck |
If you have a Toyota forklift dealer near you we always have some laying around. We change a lot of starters and every new starter comes with a new wire. If they don't have any used the parts dept always stocks this item.
|
I probably have one in my electrical parts box. I've got pieces of a dozen wiring harness in there. If I have one, I'll mail it to you for nothing. Let me look and I'll PM you if I do and get your address.
|
I do have one but don't see a way to get the wire out without damaging it. I could cut it off and you could butt connect it but that would defeat the purpose. Just use an insulated female spade and some heat shrink. Maybe even two or three layers of it if you like. You will be just fine.

Use a spade connector.
Shrink wrap it - about 2" or so. That will act a bit like a strain relief. Use dielectric grease. |
Is this one correct?? Found it doing basic searching. http://www.wiringspecialties.com/2jstcoost.html I cannot vouch one way or the other about this company, it was just what I was able to find doing some quick searching.
Comes in 3 different configurations 1. Pigtail-Fully assembled with 3 inches of wire. Select this if you want to attach bare wire to bare wire 2. Housing-Only the plastic housing parts. Select this if you want to swap over the pinned wires from a damaged housing to a new housing 3. Parts-Not assembled, comes with housing, crimp-on wire terminals and wire seals. Select this if you want to crimp new pins on and then assemble the connector |
I believe that's it. Looks just like the one I have. Go with option 3. That will give you a fresh connection and you won't have to disassemble your old one or use a butt splice.
|
If you really want a reliable connection (with whichever connector you choose) be sure to get a mechanical (crimping) AND Electrical connection (soldiering) if you do go with a butt connector be sure to shrink wrap it too this will help protect the connection and give a cleaner look
Good luck! |
Are u redoing the starter relay circuit? More details please
great write up by rad4runner see post #19 (traded out link for a YT one, better anyway although is referenced in other write up as well) https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199.../#post51947160 |
Andy: Thanks for the link to that connector. That does look like the one I need.
4RunnerFreak12: This truck doesn't have a starter relay. I wish that was the problem. It is an automatic and it is now looking like the problem may be the neutral safety switch. A wiring diagram similar to the one in that rad4runner thread would be handy if it were accurate. Is there one somewhere for a 1991 pickup? |
Oh wow that sucks sorry for giving inaccurate info. Would probably help if I subscribed to the threads I reply to lol
I will check my tablet I have a few helpful files on there I could send you. edit: sorry only files I could find that might help is an fsm for 1996 but covers the same transmission. |
