Can anybody tell me where I can purchase wire-to-wire connectors that will mate with those of the wiring harness in a 2008 toyota matrix? Toyota dealer will sell complete sub-assembly, but I just want the white rectangular connector (and the 6 internal pins). I'm guessing Toyota buys them from an automotive electrics manufacturer, but I can't see any identification on the parts to indicate which one.

It's either AMP (tycho) or Molex. Good luck, do you have any idea how many different connector shape terminals there are on a car? Plus the waterproof types?

Thank-you very much KartuneMan and Howie II for your replies. Yes, I am aware that there are a lot of connectors. The Toyota Wire Harness Repair Manual (1991-2005) has nearly 240 pages of connector pictures, including waterproof, and gold plated pin versions.   In appendix G it makes reference to a "wire harness repair kit, but adds, "This kind of kit is not available from Toyota Motor Corporation". And I didn't spot any suggestion of where it might be purchased. Do either of you two happen to know?
      I have also referenced the 2003 Toyota Matrix Wiring Manual, showing many connectors, but again, I did not spot any references to the source of those individual connectors. (Not that I would expect to do so in a manual produced by the car manufacturer.)   Hence my question to you knowledgeable folks.
     Yes, my question was generic in that I didn't identify a particular connector on the car. My motivation is that rather than make any 'permanent' changes to the stock wiring, I like the idea of making my changes in 'external' wires and just 'plugging' my changes in at some convenient spot where there already is a wire-to-wire connector. It then becomes trivial to 'undo' any wiring change I have made by simply 'unplugging' my connectors and rejoining the 'stock' connectors.   But to give a specific example, the Matrix Wiring Manual references a junction connector near the left rear tail light J8(A) and J8(B) I believe. Does anyone know who manufactured that connector or suggest where I can buy it?
     Thanks again for your help.
