Fuse Block Identification

Question: Do you know it's easy/possible to find uncrimped female spade connectors that are compatible with the toyota wiring harness connectors?

It's possible, but there wouldn't be a Toyota part number or any way to verify (other than ordering std stuff and then checking to see if it interchanges). Back when these vans were still in the yards I would grab the fuse boxes out of them. I brought my wire shears and took as much wire as I could easily get along with the connectors. When I need something like that now I just take the connector and attached piece of wire, then butt connect that into my harness.

I'm betting you could find the right gauge wire with the right spade on it in almost any Toyota from the 80's & 90's. Just go to a salvage yard with a pair of dykes and snip snip away. Tim

Great information in this thread. What tripped me up is the "blower relay" (square with black plastic case with that written on it) under the glove box. It tested good, so I checked relay off the list of potential causes for my blower not working. It wasn't until I pulled the fuse block (Anyone interested in the ice maker I finally pulled out of my van in order to do so?) and noticed the relay labeled "heater" that I realized I hadn't tested the relay other's had mentioned. The one on the fuse block had a pin that only made intermitent connection internally. I put in a different relay and the blower works again.
The component labeled "Blower Relay" under the glove box is not in the diagram in the service manual that shows the locations of switches and relays. Anyone know the story?
