Does anyone know what these wires are

I have 3 taped up leads on my 2017 trd pro .They are by the battery, and rest on top of the inner fender == See attached picture

 

These are common grounding spots. Keep it tight and don't let it corrode and you'll be good. Any other accessories you add can be grounded at this point also, if accessible. There should be other locations with grounding lugs like this to the body and chassis.

 

Toyota uses WHT/BLK as ground wires throughout the vehicle.

 

Ejection seat

 

He's not asking about the obvious ground.

 

I failed reading comprehension on this one and only used his thread title with the obvious pic. LOL

 

In that case, definitely for the ejection seat option

 

maybe you can use the first pic and this close up of the loose leads

 

I don't think my TRDOR has this. I'll check soon.

 

They look like plugs/jacks of some sort.... I don't have them on my 16 Sport. I bet they are for extra lighting... that would be handy!

 

I think those need to be connected in order to get the Super Harmonic Inline Torque (S.H.I.T) feature in the rear diff to go off.

It produces a nice 400hz tone when activated.

 

Where the Flux Capacitor hooks up...duh

 

Ok so nobody yet? Any Toyota techs out there?

 

I wasn't joking. Thats what they are for.

 

I noticed those some leads on my TRD OR when installing my HID's. Not sure what they are for.

 

Did you try putting a test light or meter on them to see if they are powered wires?

 

I didn't want to get my multi-meter out in the rain today and test them. I guess i will check tomorrow, if i get no real input here.

 

how do you know he's not asking about the obvious ground? He may be a complete noob

EDIT:
Nevermind saw the later post about other leads in the tape...

 

"taped up leads" in the first post. The ground ain't taped up.
