Help: A/C Questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

flamingchicken4 · 09-19-2012, 11:08 PM

I found my problem and subsequently created another one. The electrical wire that connects to the bottom of the compressor is smashed. The lower aluminum tubing coming out of the compressor was bent in the accident by the radiator support and crushed the little plastic connector. My new problem is that my local Toyota stealership wont sell me just the wire. They want me to buy a whole new friggin compressor! A whopping $1,523 for a little 7 inch wire with plastic on it, yeah right. I called about 20 local parts places and no one else is going to sell it to me, all the local "you-pull-it" places don't have any Yaris models from any year in their yards. Please tell me somewhere online I can buy this wire connector or go through DENSO and buy it from them.
