Loose aux input? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Lil Abner · 08-14-2011, 08:36 PM

So, I grabbed my AUX jack I have sitting in a closet, and opened it up. It looks like the same jack used on most of the Toyotas I've played with. But when I look it up online, a new one goes for a sickening $85!!

I looked around through my electronics resources, and I can't find a replacement plug that would fit in the holes in the circuit board. So that idea is shot!

The only thing I can think of is taking a q-tip, dip it in rubbing alcohol, and pushing it in the plug to try cleaning the contacts. It's very possible they are just dirty. If they are dirty, you'll have to spend a few minutes with the rubbing alcohol and q-tip to really break-down the crud on the contacts. It's worth giving it a shot, and letting us know.
