One more question - I also have the ditch light brackets. In the pictures for the dash mount, it looks like you also have a (possibly NMO-mounted) antenna on the passenger side. Were you able to get a standard NMO mounting to the ditch light brackets? it is a little too small for my NMO mount...
I had a pre-installed brake controller plug in my Gen 3 tacoma, and I did have the blue wire from SQ9 to 7-pin plug in my current Gen 4 TRD OR - not sure what the rhyme or reason is for this, but my new install was successfully tested last night :) C'est la vie.
good call - see here! the wire in question is blue, next to the red wire, with a small tag of electrical tape toward the bottom
of the image. This is under the driver’s door trim in a double cab TRD OR. If you are looking at the tacoma circuit diagram, this is the blue wire between AR2 and RG28...
just to resolve the saga, in trying to probe, which wire was the brake light, I accidentally shorted out and blew the 10A STOP fuse under the dash. Replaced that baby unplugged the battery for a good while, and good to go. Was able to splice in a 15A/45V Schottky diode, wired up to my Tekonsha...
the context is that I tried to probe the wires in the harness under the drivers side trim to confirm which wire goes to brake light. To do so, I tried to use a multi meter set to million volts, neg on the nearest ground point, and then finely scraping a tiny portion of insulation from the target...
quoting here way later than the above was originally posted, but can you clear the above error message (or a brake-related message) with the appropriate OBD scanner?
Thanks - this is what i did. The connection point you shared is SQ9, and what it connects to runs to a place behind the dash, and I was hoping to be able to tie in behind the dash and not have to run the brake wire as you described, but it turns out I don’t have that run. I did confirm the blue...
Hi All,
I've followed this with great interest, and with lots of gratitude for everyone who's worked this out. I have a '24 TRD OR 4x4, base model with heated seats, Tow/Haul, DAC/CRAWL. I'm trying to find the best way to get to J7. I'm having trouble finding it under the steering wheel - is...
I also have an IC 2730. It looks like you also ran the wiring for the radio behind the 14” screen. Just curious, where did you mount the body of the radio?
Thank you so much - just purchased!!!!
I’m also hunting around for a solution to mounting an aluminum extrusion contraption to the top of my double cab. Would you ever consider selling the mounting brackets for your roof rack alone?
Hi all,
I have a brand new 4G TRD Off Road with Double cab, a ton of aluminum extrusion, and endless bad ideas, and I want to put together a DIY roof rack. Is there any way or anywhere to buy just the mounting hardware (any mounting hardware) for a 4th Gen double cab, or will I have to DIY this...
