I snapped the tab on my ignition coil conncector. I called the dealer and they said that the only part option was a harness. Anyone know where I can get a new/used connector?

salvage yard - solder on a new connector from a harness...
Cheapest I have found is around ~120 for the whole harness. I mean what do techs do? I know these connectors must break everyday. I have a hose clamp on mine (which will probably be fine), but there has to be a more practical option.
Way too hot for duct tape son. I put a stainless steel hose clamp on it which should be a perimenant fix. Still, there must be a way to purchase that connector. I will call some other dealers...
The connector is replaceable, part number 90980–11150. List Price $10.63. Confirm with dealer that this is the correct connector. http://www.scribd.com/doc/11192307/T...Harness-Repair
Page 24, how to replace the connector.
thanks for the part number. I googled it and I think I am going to order a few of these. taking apart the connector looks frustrating I think I am going to splice and solder. It is a 2006 for the record (which likes to eat ignition coils)

It is important to note that the plug is not enough. The kit includes the seals and metal female connectors that go inside of the plug. I bought the kit to play with and the pigtail to splice in, but I ended up doing something entirely different. I ended up taking apart my existing plug on vehicle and transferring the wire into the new plugs. No cutting or soldering!
I have does some serious engine work in the past and I urge all of you to practice vigilance with these connectors especially on coils 1,3, and 5. If these connectors break you will not have a reliable vehicle until they are repaired. It would be prudent to order an extra connector in advance. I used a micro slip joint pliers to loosen up the clip before removing it. Also, I must add that Ballenger Motorsport did an extremely good job assembling the pigtails (crimps were perfect), shipped quickly (within a few hours), and prices were very reasonable.
I will try to take some pictures and show you all how to take apart the plugs. I spent too much time on this repair for it to go to waste. I also have a new respect for these automotive connectors. They are more enjoyable to work with when one knows exactly how to assemble them and repair them.
I broke half of these on my car. They're expertly engineered back together with zip ties for now. Apparently the coils and all related parts are just bad news...
As promised, here are the pics. I did not solder anything and just took apart the connectors. I practiced on them, so that is why they are so worn out. The procedure is simple:
1. Remove the white plastic insert by inserting a small screwdriver, pushing down towards the metal terminals while pushing outwards away from the connector body.
2. To remove the wires insert a thin bladed screwdriver and pry downwards on each plastic tab below the metal wire terminal. Keep light pressure on the wire while pushing downwards on the individual tab. The wire should release EASILY. Otherwise, you are either not prying enough and/or pulling too hard on the wire.
That stupid thing broke on my scion on thanksgiving. Tried to take it apart and the tabs holding the pins in also broke in a way that the pins are stuck. I'll have to cut it apart with a dremel and try to get the pins out without damaging it. Oh, did I mention that toyota parts warehouses are closed for thanksgiving and none of the dealers in my area stock these? Sorry about the rant.
