wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 10:17 AM

Hi, like alot of people know...
I'm looking to find a 96 wiring harness for my 96 4x4 manual trans. engine.

I'm looking to get some places and phone nmumbers to call. I called alot of places and didnt find one yet. So anyone who wants to help me with info no that thanks alot !!

Oppositeboy · 04-04-2005, 10:25 AM

Where have you called? Where are you located?

DCabTaco · 04-04-2005, 10:26 AM

Don't know of any places for what you are looking for, but a 96 would be a tacoma right? I think this folder is intended for pre-taco quesions. I know a lot of people will still see your question and it is not completely based on the year make and model of a vehicle(general), but other taco owners (that don't visit this folder) might have more info for you.

Oh and what is a standard engine on a 96? I thought they came in both 4 cyl and V6 even back then.

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 10:27 AM

I called a place in Calif and the guy told me any vehicules from Calif wont work. so no place from calif. I am located in Canada(ottawa) but I don't mind the shipping that's I'm asking yuor help.

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 10:30 AM

I just called Yota yard in california and they don't have any. so scratch that one

I'm doing a swap in my 93 truck that's why I'm here. And sorry when i asid standard I ment manual transmission.

No CA vehicles will work? A wiring harness is a wiring harness, no? Who did you call? There are a couple of big places out here, although their poor customer service is what they seems to thrive in. Check out TRDParts4U. They will sell you the harness for SUPER cheap (rumor has it the part is sold at cost).

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 10:34 AM

I called in california :
TAP Recycling

Oppositeboy · 04-04-2005, 11:12 AM

Yeah, they are terrible at customer service. So is Toyota Truck Parts. Both also have terrible return policies. I highly recommend TRDParts4U. You get brand new parts for cheap with excellent customer service.

Maybe Steve, Rob, Bill, or one of the other canucks can come up with ideas for "local" yards for you. I have one place about 30 minutes away that usually has what I am looking for, but they are way expensive. I used to have a hookup at another place that would hunt down parts for me, but he changed jobs.

Have you tried carparts.com? Or is it car-parts.com? Bah, maybe google?

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 11:50 AM

I just called a toyota dealer in Canada and the price for a brand new harness is 400 $ (US money).

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 11:51 AM

TRDparts4u didnt have what I was looking for.

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 11:55 AM

the best way to do it, is to buy a wrecked truck and just swap everything out in a weekend... But most ppl can't afford to do that. Good luck, Wes

If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, you might want to try Painless wiring. I can't get to the link right now, because my computer is jacked, but as soon as I can, I'll report back to ya!

here is the link : http://www.painlessperformance.com/

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 12:05 PM

yeah that would be helpfull because I was looknig at theuir site and i think they only specialize in american motors into toyota trucks.

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 12:08 PM

I found one in a scrap yard in Quebec and it's 260 CAN $. But it's a 95. I didn't know they made 3.4L in 95 !?!?

I wasn't sure or not, I have the link for my hot rod I will build some day. I always see them on my car shows on Spike and such so I figured it wouldn't hurt to suggest.

Good luck to you

Try www.car-part.com--has worked for me several times..

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 12:24 PM

I called everyplace on that site even if it showed they had it they told me it didnt. I guess it's really not up to date.

Really? Did Barb or Brian say they could order it? That's too bad. I apologize for coming up empty. Good luck on the project.

wheelerz · 04-04-2005, 12:38 PM

hehe np at all. No they didnt say anything about ordering. I'll try to figure out if my engine came with info like serial number of the truck.

98 Taco · 04-04-2005, 08:03 PM

I contacted them. I got mixed up with another place when i said i did call them.

Can I say I'm doing a swap ? because last time I said that the guy didnt want to give me the warranty because it's a "modification".

DCabTaco · 04-05-2005, 10:51 AM

Chris (manager i think) is a member and knows we modify everything around here. Barb is his wife. They are great people to work with. Give them a call and you will see. Or just e-mail them.

Why even tell them what you need it for? If they ask why, tell them your is bad and you need a replacement. It's none of their business why you need it.

wheelerz · 04-05-2005, 02:02 PM

yeah that's what I started to say. It's because they were asking me what's the part number. But I finally got it from toyota with the info I got from the engine.

I'm still waiting for an answer from TRDParts. I'm anxious to see if they can get something for me !

Oppositeboy · 04-05-2005, 02:06 PM

Hopefully they can hook you up. Good luck with the project!
