It's going to get Snotty here soon!! Just put up the lawn art, out side furniture, and checked the Dock! It's been dry here! We can use the Rain, but not the wind! Be Safe!

 

The county has Bulldozers from their fire depts and from Cal Fire and from CDF ready to go if needed .Even seen some heavy equipment in a debris basin nearby a little while ago

This what I did :
I installed a Priority Start ( I have 4 things wired to constant hot and wanted to protect the battery from draw down if I left them on) I ran 10 ga to from priority start to 40 Amp breaker then to a 6 slot blue sea fuse box to that is hooked LED lights in my cap, 12 acc in my cap and a spare for future use. In the Cab I have a 12v Acc plug and a dual USB plug all on the 6 Slot fuse box. With Diode's to prevent reverse flow power ( had to since the 3 switches in the cap are wired to a single LED warning light in the cab to tell me I left them on). Everything works as it should with the exception of when using the ACC plug in the cab my remote lock or unlock fails most of the time. Using the USB plugs no problem. I narrowed it down to the 12v Acc plug after much experimentation. I disconnected it from fuse box and ran a wire from the battery to the acc socket exposed to ensure no wires were screwed up or pinched etc and nope still does it. Someone else here also had the problem https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/unusual-problem-08-tacoma.368624/#post-10225494. I had someone here who does a lot of electrical on Tacoma's stumped too , I am not worried about I can live with it. I do not have pictures handy not sure if there is any my album I did that mod a long time ago.

These storms remind me of the 1982 - 83 , 1987 -88 and 2010 Super El Nino events

 

Stay safe Jimi !!

 

Thanks, that's awesome work! Hope you can find the gremlin that's causing it! I wish I had a answer. I have a lot of respect for you peeps that add the auxiliary fuse box to our trucks. It's one of my weaknesses.
I added a mini - low profile 1Amp Diode, and a inline single fuse holder to my 4 wire push switch. The drawing called for it. I had to get creative for that one! Lol!

 

Thanks!

 

I love it when people do stuff like this. I make a lot of money

 

Thanks Rob!

 

Lol! Yeah I was like Clark Griswall hooking up my Auxiliary Lights!












Just Kidding!! I bet you See it all Mike!

 

Yea I do.
Especially LEDs when they blow main body ecu's.

 

For example when added to the headlights?

 

I'm glad I have more to keep myself busy so I don't My truck.

 

Head lights ,interior
You start screwing with these computer systems. Shit happened.
Had a 15 tundra that lost a main body ecu cause he wanted cool led lights in his truck.
So had to remove everything back to stock then diag. Yeup a nice expensive computer. Then he was pissed because Toyota wouldn't pay for it. Don't know what happened cause he left and never came back.

 

Changed the spark plugs, that took care of the pinging. They are not the original plugs, they all were denso. But they were well used and had been in for a while. There was oil on one.

 

Dammm!

 

Glad the Denotation is gone!

 

So you CHANGED THE PLUGS.....
Imagine that..... Lol

 

Shut up

 

I hate you
