@@Tacomaholic I have a 2012 Tacoma With JBL radio GPS is not working Also, Bluetooth does not work and Aux does not read flash Can you help me How can I tune the radio
Hey Dude! Thank you very much for making this series of video's. I have the exact same switch configuration as you do on my 2010 Tacoma. The only lights that actually have ever worked since I took delivery of the truck when it was brand new were the DAC and AC switches. Yes I know I could have gone back to the dealership, asked about it and had them replace them but at the time I really wasn't sure they were even suppose to light up. After a while I just lived with it because I had several other issues within the first 3 years of ownership that I had to go back to the dealership for and honestly I absolutely hate dealing with them. It was always a full day or overnight ordeal and I figured this light thing was minor. Anyway I just finished replacing five of the bulbs with the LEDs you recommended and they work great now. Can't wait until tonight when it gets dark and I can really appreciate the new illumination. Anyway Thanks again for taking the time to educate the rest of us. It is greatly appreciated.
@@Tacomaholic I wanted to stay with the same color scheme as when I bought the truck so I went with Amber...............but when I went out last night so I could see them working in the dark I was slightly disappointed. The color is off. The new Amber LEDs are much lighter than the rest of the dashboard lights. No don't get me wrong I am super stoked that all the switch lights are working after over a decade of them not. It's just that my OCD has kicked in and the difference in color is slightly disappointing. I'm wondering if maybe I should have done what you did and gone with the red LEDs instead. In either case thank you once again for your video. I've used several of your recommendations, Seat Jackers being one of them. What a world of difference!
You can do it in 2 minutes with a lot less hassle, here's how. Partially straighten out a larger wire paper clip. Don't straighten all the way out you will need a loop for a small handle to hold onto. Take needle nose pliers and put a 160ish degree bend on the end of the paper clip so you have a little hook on the end. Insert this between the side of the switch or switch blank and the dash…yes,there is enough of a gap to do this… push in a half inch or so… turn paper clip 90 degrees so that the little hook you made will grab the switch and then start to gently pull back out. When you start to meet some resistance give a sharp little tug and voila! Switch pops right out. The little claws that hold the switch in do not grab very hard so the straight back pull pops them easily with no damage.Took me less than 2 minutes to pull a switch out.
Thanks man, I had forgotten how to take off the lower left trim piece with the weird little fake screw thing. Doing a double DIN swap and backup camera install so you saved my day 🤛
Just did a bar light install on mine, was able to fish the wires through without removing all the body panels. I just took out the plate where the electronic mirror adjustment goes, (I don’t have electric mirrors, but I think you could still do it even if you did), and reached into that to pull the wires up and around to the main switch panel. Hope this helps!
Great video brother i can continue with my air compressor install as a do it yourself guy because of this much appreciated keep them coming subscribed!
Nice video as always, thanks. Waiting for the led colour change video, I would opt for red or amber dash illumination anytime, but I wonder if its applicable on my 3rd gen trd offroad. I think I have to see your walk through, analyse and compare if I can apply same method. Keep it up and thanks.
Thanks! I'll be recording and uploading (weather permitting) the led bulb change vid today). Accessing those switches on your 3rd gen will be different of course, but the bulb size and swapping method is probably identical.
Hi Brian, Thanks for your vids. I've added an aftermarket fog light set with harness including fuse, relay and switch to my 4 cylinder 2014 Tacoma. Circuit works, only problem is I cannot find room around the factory harness feed thru to run my switch wires inside the cabin. Any help will be appreciated ! Thx.
Thanks for watching! I've had to pop new holes in the factory rubber wire opening in the firewall for additional wires. If you go that route just push through slowly with something sharp then carefully feed the wire through on a coat hanger or something similar.
@Tacomaholic This is the second time you've answered a question for me. The fact that you respond right away is awesome. Will def try your recommendation. Thanks for the help!
Question for ya so I got a 2006 Toyota Tacoma sr5 while in this project I came to find I think it was 3 plugs that had no buttons to considering I have a sr5 and It was a hand-me-down I am not exactly sure what they are to. I was thinking maybe a diff lock button like I have seen come stock with others but I am not too sure. Can someone explain to me please?
I want to swap the position of the 400W/100W and the RR Diff Lock. Do you think that there is enough play in the wiring for this? Thanks for all your help with the Tacoma. Upgraded the '07 to a '15 in May and am cranking through my Mod List.
@@Tacomaholic Great. Thanks. There was enough slack. Great swap project. Since I will be pressing the 400W button alot now that my 400W mod is done, I could not see the button well due to my seating & steering wheel position. It's the Little Things, right? Thanks again!
Adding switches fog light, side mirror switch ( did not come with any of these non electrical but has optional jacks for it) aux, and another fog light not sure what the other buttons do need Clarification
The top row of switches from left to right is: Fog Lights - Rear Diff Locker - 100W to 400w Power ... and the bottom row is Traction - Downhill Assist - Rear Side Curtain Airbags
What all is to the right of the upper set of switches? I’m kinda thinking of putting a 4 or 6 gang plate in place of the original 3! Thanks for any info and keep the videos coming!
Tacomaholic No I’ve got the same switches (2013 Off Road)but was wondering if there was anything that might be in the way to the right of the top three as I’m looking at expanding with a 4 or 6 gang switch plate! www.ebay.com/itm/333240087128
I never knew these were Supposed to turn on my lights down Hill assist refer differential lock I don't see return on on my car lights are on the rest to do you happen to know which fused is this in the fuse Box
@@alexalvarez9462 If I remember correctly the 2005-2011 Tacomas have regular incandescent bulbs behind the center console area ... so if you open it up you should be able to swap them for colored leds.
Doc Richardson I would like to get the 12 thru 14 I believe... I have the 2010 currently with all the steering wheel controls. I've read on Tacoma world that they are interchangeable as long as you get the new steering wheel clock when installing and maybe there is a sub harness that the new style steering wheel would need to adapt to the newer style buttons. I'm still not sure on what parts I need and how it all works to be honest. Guess it's time for me to do some homework!!!
@@atmosphereoasis9564 Here's a link to the steering wheel install vid and there are links for the parts in that video description: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3vhCGI6moYY.html It should physically fit just fine in an 05-09 Tacoma but the button controls probably won't work.
