installer’s point of view

yea 700 ! at the time i had little knowlege and thought it was a pager but in the end was disapointed ahah. See i know installers here would have to agree that they did a half ass job on their part, and 100% sure no1 here would let a car leave their install bay like this; since your here helping individuals that need guidance and telling what is best from an installers point of view.

if only they would pay me for parts and labour i would be more than happy to finish off their half ass job ! at the same time its my moms car,so care and making sure its done right would be priority. hey howie, thanks to you and others for tsuggestions. I guess its hard to decide when your an installer, but had the unit intstalled elswhere huh.  

By all rights they should fix at least the 2nd starter - the tach is more sketchy, I know a lot of shops that don't hook them up and Scytek's tech support told me "our tachless is excellent, why are you using a tach on that car?"

It boils down to which you find more pleasant - forcing a dealer to fix substandard work or saving time. You've got the skill to fix it yourself in much less time than it'd take to drive to the dealer and back, to say nothing about waiting there.

I had a similar dilemma with an easy repair on my Saturn(still under warranty). Doorlock was slightly bent on the front pass. door...took me 20 minutes to fix compared to a 30 min. roundtrip to the nearest dealer...but then again it's sometimes fun forcing people to give you good customer service

A truely good installer should be able to mimic the installation of another installer.  After all, the goal of any good installer should be to create an "OEM" appearance by blending their installation in with the OEM wiring as best as possible.  For these two connections I wouldn't worry about the original shop voiding your warranty.

you both make a good point chris Luongo and wallace ! hey chris luong, im postive they missed the second start wire. The toyotas will start with one starter wire, but will rarely start in the winter sinec its missing its second starter wire. Its same as nissans starting system. 2 starter wires, if main is connected car starts no problem. but as winter comes around it wont even crank properly.

well as Kevin mentioned, i guess im going to do it myself. NO biggie. now i just need to pick up a relay harnesses, 2 relays, and green wire (thats what they used).Need to make it look OEM - thanks for the tip KPierson.  

any1 know what the defrost is on the car? i dont wanna poke around to test each wire to see if its the defrost :) any help is appreciated and thanks again to all that replied.
