    Help!
    I need to buy a specific section of wire harness from a Plug-in Prius (2012-2015).

    If you are parting out a Plug-in Prius, you may have this laying in the back. Or possibly still attached to the battery case or charge controller?

    Call or message me to discuss. 608-729-4082. I'm in Wisconsin.

    I'd prefer as much of the harness as possible. But we can sort that out.

    I took off the wire loom of one section, and had to repair/tape up a different section, so mine may look slightly different than yours.

    I just gave Jack a heads-up about this... Maybe he'll have something or know where to search?

    I talked with him yesterday. He doesn't have what I need. But will ping me if something comes on his radar. He had some good advice as well.

    These first plugin Prius are very rare... I wish @bisco had sold his to me!

    With it being rare it can be a pain to find certain PIP-only parts.

    It's hard to filter through all the regular ads just to find the Plugin parts.

    Practicing my skills on a similar connector.

    I'm surprised no one has designed a universal plug where you stack the number of wires you need together to form the correct shaped plug. Suspect 3D printer owners have experimented with printing their own plugs... Of course in general making a specific shaped plug is super expensive when it comes to building the tooling to make the plastic pieces. For example it cost ACENbay.com more that $10K to have tolling made so he could manufacture his own voltage sensing harness that plugs into the ECM.
