trebor69 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I changed mine a while ago and am sure I didn't cut the wires, all will become apparent when you start to take it apart. Go on, go for it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The wires slide out of the od button cant remember exactly but i worked this out after i broke mine, its in a small black cradle that the contacts slide in theres a little push clip to press iirc then it slides out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJax Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Sounds like Toyota took the easy option then.The wires do unclip , but theres lots of clips which keep the wires safe from rubbing on the auto shifter to undo and you have to be careful when routing the wires they don't catch like they did when I did the job.Not something I'd relish doing again.
