I am putting back together my traction battery after doing a cell replacement and cannot find the thin metal plate that covers the high voltage cables in the picture below anywhere. I have torn my garage apart. Does anyone know if it is required... its function or ever a part number? Thanks.
2007 Toyota Prius Terminal, junction. Battery, engine, connector - 8267547080 - Genuine Toyota Part The frame wire uses shielded cables. I think that piece ensures the solid grounding of the shields.
Hold on I'll go out and look I should have it right here yeah I would say you probably don't want to do away with that The nuts clamp down on that and hold the two wires straight and all that business right. I'm walking under the building right now to see if I see it
I just got off the phone with my local dealer. We were able to track down the part number to 82675C and its about $7 arriving next week some time. So I have options. The local junk yard where i found some cells also had a HV battery torn apart, so the part may be there. I can't believe my part walked off... it looks a little more sophisitcated than something I can duplicate with a beer can.. The hole in the center makes me think it might be setup to self destruct in certain circumstances... not sure. DAMN... That's too large a part to go missing, but its so fragile and light that it could probably be carried away by a breeze and woudn't make much noise if it hit the ground.
Some time in the last year, my local dealer parts counter has started handing me printouts where the discounted price column shows what I already know (from looking it up beforehand) is the list price, and the list price column shows the list price roughly doubled, and then telling me what a great deal I'm getting with the price in the discounted column. Are they all doing that now? I've been meaning to scan those and write some letters, but haven't gotten to it yet.
I found a "local" dealer in Tom's River NJ. Its about 30 minutes. The part there is about $2 because they offer a discount on MSRP and they also allow you to pick up the parts. It's crazy the differences in prices between dealers. There are few that I have found that offer an "internet" price and local pickup.
Know what's even more screwed up? The Toyota OEM oil filters for my car are more expensive at WALMART than most dealerships. You'd think stuff at Walmart would be cheaper than the dealer, but not in this case.
Gpounf iy g Good call. It was under that rusty bracket where the magnetic tool is pointed does the first picture have this part at its correct orientiation? Thanks again for all the help!!
Lol... Configuration is good enough... Glad I could help... It's almost black hole like under that back seat cushion. So many times stupid stuff vanishes under there. And why is it rusty inside the car like that? I don't know but most Prius' have that... There's threads on here about all the roof leaks and other leaks.
