2007-2013 Toyota Tundra Charging Port Replacement (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013)

Giriş

If one or both of the charging ports (also known as USB-C ports) in your second-generation Toyota Tundra (2007-2013) aren't charging the devices, use this guide to replace them.

The charging port allows you to plug a USB-C connector into your car to use for things such as charging your devices. However, over time it can break from use and will eventually need to be replaced.

Before using this guide make sure to clean out the inside of the charging port, typically a buildup of dust can be removed through an ESD-safe brush or small dust blower. Be sure to test the charging port with several different cords to make sure that the charging port is what is actually broken.

Step nine will require you to strip the cover off of some wire. Step 12 will require you to solder two wires together. Additionally, step 13 will require you to utilize heat shrink tubing.

Before beginning, put your car in park, turn on the emergency brake, and turn off your car. For additional safety measures, it's a good idea to disconnect the car battery.
