while changing the plugs on my 05 Camry 4cyl, two of the plastic lock tabs on the wiring harness connectors to the individual coils broke. They are a snug fit anyway
and the car runs fine. I put a strip of electrical tape over the two that snapped off
to act as a temp lock. Don't really want to pull/replace the connectors apart and mess with all those thin wires. What do you guys suggest a high temp silicone tape or
a dab of some type of sealant on the outside where the female connector fits over the
male fitting on each coil. I know regular electrical tape may not be heat resistant enough and some techs just leave them with no lock tab if it breaks and call it good
but I figure they lock them for a reason.
Any thoughts Thank you Coastalguy.
