Because of a couple accessories that require power to come direct from the battery, including a 4g amp wire, that little red cover wouldn't close. In an effort to give it a "cleaner" look, I removed the cover. Seems Toyota had a good reason for putting that little piece of plastic there.

This actually made me laugh. Found out to replace the wiper motors wiring harness, you must replace the ENTIRE wiring harness....as in the MAIN wiring harness.....for just a little over $1K!!!

Ya, right.

Guess I'll attempt to make a DIY harness just for the wiper motor.

post some pictures. i dont see how replacing the motors requires replacement of the harness (unless it's melted), and who told you >$1k?
